Benjamin Harper Obituary
passed away unexpectedly on Friday March 20, 2009 in Tempe, Arizona. Ben was born August 19th 1985 in Mesa, Arizona. He lived in Arizona his entire life and was a graduate of Highland High school. Ben was a beloved son, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew and friend. He seemed to make an impact on all that came in contact with him. Ben held numerous jobs but was most proud of the work he accomplished on behalf of the people of the country of Mozambique in Africa. Ben, had the opportunity to travel to Mozambique twice. There he fell in love with the children, and the children felt the same. We will miss you Ben. May God be with you till we meet again. Funeral Services will be held at the LDS Quinn Building at 2700 E. Guadalupe Road, Gilbert on Wednesday March 25th at 10:30 a.m. Bunker's University Chapel was entrusted with arrangements.

We are SO Broken hearted for you, all, Todd and Linda.
If love could be infused into this email to feel our love and support at this hard time, you would feel floating and supported by All the Jeff Mix Family.
There can be a new “theme” of missionary work throughout the next years of your life. You two have been Ben's counselors and spiritual leaders and have always been eager to go the extra mile, for Ben. Your efforts with Ben have been absolutely incredible.
We have personally lost two young nephews. We were comforted when we were encouraged to coordinate our work with the missionary work in God's heaven. So...Both of you have made missionary work a priority. Both of you have been relentless. Your honorable release from serving Ben... here on earth... is coming to you with your boots laced up and your treads thin.
This week YOU have had a large transfer. Heaven is ready and training Ben to Build the KINGDOM . He can now do the work-- having been given an honorable release from his body -that was holding him back.
His boots are laced and he is happy and called to serve in Heaven as per your example here on earth, till his treads are thin, and his voice like a Angels-- like your voices.
How can we help?
We will keep in touch.
Hugs,
Chris and Jeff
