He was united in marriage to his high school sweetheart, Anna (McDonald) Zirbel, on July 21, 2001 in Roseville, Iowa. Shortly after, they moved to Tallahassee, Florida before settling in Clay County in 2005. He graduated from the St. Johns River State College Criminal Justice Academy and served the community as a law enforcement officer for twelve years. Ben was a man who truly lived to serve others.
