Benjamin Walter Sidorski IV, age 36 of Vero Beach, Florida passed away peacefully on 11/9/25 after a long battle with diffuse midline glioma cancer.
Benjamin was born in Middletown, New York and in his teens relocated to Florida. He was a Sebastian River High School graduate and went on to earn his associate’s in criminal justice at Indian River State College. He started at Publix at age 16 while in high school, pursuing his almost 20-year career, eventually becoming Assistant Store Manager. Benjamin will be remembered for his selfless and caring spirit. He never met a stranger and was loved by all. He enjoyed traveling the world and spending time with his wife, family, and friends. He was an avid Giants and Yankees fan and the life of the party. His wish was to be celebrated, not mourned. He is survived by his wife, Amanda Sidorski, his father Benjamin Walter Sidorski III of Vero Beach, his mother Sharon O’Connell
of Oldsmar, FL, his sister Jamie Sidorski (Jardel) and his nephew Sebastian of Clearwater, FL, his grandmother Kathleen Sidorski of PA, his mother in law Joyce Howell of Vero Beach FL, brothers by choice Mike Lunny, Dan Rowell, as well as several extended family members and close friends. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations in his name to Hope Lodge or Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL

I remember you starting at Publix, as a young pup ! Worked with you several times over them years too! One thing ? I honestly never, EVER seen him mad ! It was always his cheerful disposition, positive outlook no matter what, that impressed me the most !
That, and his love for his wife Amanda, his family and everyone else.
You will be so deeply missed, Ben !

I only got to know Ben a few years ago. But, in that time, I discovered a young man that was loving, caring, hardworking and a just an overall wonderful man, husband and son. I also saw, one of the bravest men I had ever known. Thank you Ben for giving all of us the unforgettable person you were. You will forever be remembered. God Bless you Ben, it was a pleasure to know you. We’ll see you again one day.

So sad you left the world so soon. You were an inspiration when we worked together in many ways. I will always remember you yelling at Gloria and me for talking too much. We had a running joke, when you were on duty, she would say to me, “look alive.” Now you are no longer suffering. RIP, Ben.

Ben, I met you in high school when you moved here. You started working at 287 not long after me, and We graduated high school together. We’ve worked together at different stores through the years. We worked alongside many of the same coworkers over the years, and
we’re all gonna miss you buddy.

On behalf of Amber Burnett and family. We send our condolences. I’m thankful he was there for her in whatever way he could be after my dad (her grandfather) passed away. It’s a gift that there are people like him.

Dearest Amanda
There are no words. I only have-had the honor of meeting Ben a few times, but I know the first time I saw him I could feel his beautiful energy, the smile that could make your socks go up and down, and his love for you was undeniable every time I saw him. I just wanted to wrap my arms around him and give him a hug. He’s truly a beautiful young man and I am so sorry, so sorry

Gone way too soon! It is so true that only the good die young! You did not deserve this. You were one of the nicest people I know. Always kind and a hard worker, and the best boss! Your warm friendly smile will be missed by many! My sincere condolences to your wife and family.
Rest in peace Ben!

I know that there is absolutely nothing that anybody can say that will make any of this easier Amanda. But, this one just isnt fair.
Ben lived simple, loved his wife, and never asked for anything. He was one of the rare, good, and genuine people in this jacked up world. I know he’s the type to say “don’t sit around and be sad for me” but, it still hurts because people like him are just too rare, and it just reminds us how life isn’t fair. Ben would’ve asked that people smile for him, and take care of his wife. Because she is truly all that mattered to him. I can’t imagine what you’re going through and I’m so sorry for your loss.
Rip brother. Sorry we didn’t get a chance to say goodbye.

I was hired by Ben in 2020 at Publix. He was one of the best managers I’ve ever had! He always took the time to listen to my concerns about the job and even my own personal stuff I had going on. When he left to another store, the whole vibe changed. It wasn’t the same without him. My condolences go out to his entire family! ✝️ You were loved by so many and will be deeply missed! May You Rest in Peace.
