Benjamin Beavin

WEST TOPSHAM – Benjamin  “Benji” Beavin, 18, a resident of West Topsham, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, December 22, 2024.

Born on December 5, 2006, he was the son of Tim and Sheila (Simonds) Beavin. He attended elementary, middle, and high school in Montpelier.  Last year he attended Central Vermont Career Center, Medical Professions, and this year he was enrolled in the Emergency Services program.
