B.J. was born in Las Vegas, Nevada to Kim and Bennett Driggers. His family moved to Huntsville, AL when he was in grade school. He attended ASFL, then graduated from Lee High School in 2001 where he played baseball and football. He had a great group of friends he loved to come back to Alabama to visit. He served a mission in the Utah Provo Mission and fell in love with Utah. He quickly returned to Utah after his mission where he would live out the remainder of his time here on Earth enjoying all Utah has to offer. He graduated from Dixie State University with a Bachelors of Science, Registered Nursing. He was a travel nurse, and spent time helping people all across the United States and World including a medical mission to Costa Rica.

B.J. leaves behind two children, Kenley and Bennett that he loved and adored. He enjoyed trips back home to Alabama with them as well as taking them on other adventures. Together they snowboarded, rock climbed, and camped among other things.

Everyone knows B.J. loved Alabama Football, the Atlanta Braves, and any baseball game he could go to. Every year, he took trips with friends to a new baseball stadium in hopes of watching a game in every MLB stadium. He was an avid mountain biker, rock climber, paddle boarder, and snowboarder. He lived life to the fullest.

B.J. was a faithful friend. He stood by and checked on his friends near and far. He maintained friendships across state lines and would always pick up where he left off when he had the chance to meet up with them again.

B.J. is survived by his children Kenley and Bennett, parents Kim and Bennett, siblings Kris (Jessica), Carrie (Lee), and Tony. He loved and was loved by all his many nieces and nephews. He was well-known as the “fun uncle”. He leaves behind his trusty companion Nash, girlfriend Hailey, and many friends that were like family.
