Ben R. Alves (Martins), 60, of Hartford, passed away unexpectedly Friday night, February 4, 2022. He was born in Lisbon, Portugal on June 9, 1961, the son of Adelino and Anna Alves.

Ben spent his youth in Hartford, CT, later moving his family to Enfield, CT. Ben was an avid outdoorsman and loved to spend his spare time hunting and fishing with his family and friends.  One of his favorite past times was spending time with his family especially his grandchildren.  Ben worked many years as tradesman and could pretty much fix anything.

He leaves to cherish his memory his two sons, Pedro Alves and his wife Sarah Alves, their children Hailee, Gabriel and Mya Alves of Uncasville, CT and Jason Alves and his wife Kimberly Alves, their daughter Hannah Alves of West Springfield, MA. Ben is also survived by his brother John Alves and his wife Rejane Alves, their children Jessenia, Leah and Noah. His nephew Michael Alves of Florida, son of his late brother Jorge Alves.

Ben was a spiritual man and the most important thing to him was taking care of his family. He was loved and respected by many and will be missed more than words could ever describe.

We love you Dad/Grandpa and promise to always make you proud.
