So sorry for your loss! Benji was a great guy! I had the pleasure of knowing him briefly at camp many years ago and he was so much fun! I was sad to his passing! Such a young soul but know that God has gave him peace and he will bring you all peace and comfort as well.

I am lost for words. This is something I thought I would never have to face and tell our son. This has been the hardest thing. Chris loved you so much, now his heart is broken and so many questions. You will forever be in his heart. And never be forgotten.

So glad we got to have many cookouts and fishing trips this summer. I talked to you two days earlier and got a big smile and hug, one of thousands in the past. Didn't dream it would be the last.We shared many laughs,meals,and memories.I remember playing "Jason" on Atarri, me and Manda interrupting your phone-calls to girls,jumpin on the trampoline singing songs on long trips(we had to correct your lyrics, "Passion,let me hold your little hand" to places like Tazwell,Myrtle beach,Skate-world,the mall,and riding trash bags down the hill in the snow.You loved my grilled cheese and burned our Ouija board.Me, you,manda and munch flipped the canoe. Like 20 of us were in honaker elem. gym playing basketball on Christmas break and the janitor, Grady ran us off. My little boys adored you.I feel like you just came back into my life, and like a dream quickly disappeared without any inclination.We were already planning more cookouts and stuff.Maybe one day we will feast on ribs and steak again. Our children will play and we will laugh. You were like a brother to me before you were made Tyler's daddy. With all our love, you will be missed and thought of forever.
