Ben, it's been 16 years but I still remember where I was when I found out. I'd give anything to go back a week before and ride four wheelers with you again. I miss you buddy, but I find solace in knowing I will see you again.

happy 28th birthday uncle ben. i miss you more than you know. i wish i could still see your face. i know your always with me. i love you.
September 18, 2009
We love you so very much, baby. Words cannot express how much we miss you. In some ways, it feels like yesterday that you left us to live with Jesus in His mansion. In other ways, as your Aunt Lisa stated; we are still trying to find peace. We can't and don't understand these things, but we have to trust in God that as the days go by our hurt will lessen, but so far it hasn't. MaMa, Britt, Hunter, Dad, me, your aunt; so many of us think of you every single day. May God give you peace and never forget our love for you grows stronger every day. Love, MeMaw

God,in his infinite wisdom, still does not allow me to have any peace with Ben's passing. I still want to ask why does my sister and the rest of my family have to have this put in front of them. This is just the truth- I would take the whole thing away if it were in my power- I love and miss you all- Ben's Aunt Lisa

Dear Ben,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Chris called me the other day and said she saw "In Loving Memory of Ben Geiger, Jr." on a truck and I did some searching on the internet to find the horrible news. My heart goes out to you and your family. I can't imagine the pain you have endured over the past months. I know how much you loved you son. He was all you ever talked about. My heart aches for you and I am truly sorry. May God Bless you and give you the strength to carry on!
Sincerely,
Melissa Lee Bautista

Patti,
I just heard from LouAnn and Kathy about your terrible loss. I remember so vividly sitting at your house in fruit cove when Ben was little and cannot believe he is gone. I know your grief is unbearable at times but please remember that I am here if you need me for anything. I wish I had the words that will help you heal but I know through my own experience with death only time helps make it a little easy.
With love,

Patti,
I wish there was something that I could say to make this hurt less. As you know, I am very close to my son, Alex, whom you have met several times in Kindermusik class with Hunter, and because he has such serious health problems, I have contemplated what I would do should something happen to him. Alex and I are praying for you and your family, and for your hurt to lessen. I know Ben is watching out for you, and is your guardian angel. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do.

I could not believe when I heard the news of your loss. Ben was just a little boy at a birthday party the last time I saw him. Having an 18 year old son, I know the bond of a mom and son. Our prayers and thoughts go out to all of you especially with the holidays upon us.
Take care and stay strong,

I am so sorry for the lost of your dear loved one. It's comforting
to know that God cares for all of us and losing a loved
one is something we cannot get use to. The Bible gives us hope
that one day we can see our dear loved one again. On behalf of all mankind Jesus surrender his soul for many. John 15:13 says “No one has love greater than this, that someone should surrender his soul on behalf of his friends.” Truly I am sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one and I hope these few words will bring you comfort and hope.

My dear friend,
I grew up with you.
I look back at all of the crazy times we had together.
There was a reason you where put on this earth,
and there was a reason that
seventeen years later you would depart.
I know for a fact that I had been taking my life and the people around me for granted.
I will never again, take one single breath for granted. Weather it be mine, or my family or friends.
You have open my eyes to so many new things over the years.
You'll always be in or hearts and prayers.
Mrs.Patti,
I know this is a difficult time for you,
but never stop believing, never for one second doubt the life that you live, and never ever stop praying.
My heart goes out to you and your family.
Much love to all of you.
Love,
Brenda Lynch

My son Duncan knew Ben from Switzerland Point threw BTHS and had 2 classes this year with Ben. When he told me of his accident he said he had spoke with Ben on Tuesday morning and he said that Ben seemed so happy this year, and he looked great. Take comfort in that and knowing that he is an Angel in Heaven. May Gods love sustain you threw this tragic loss.

Patti,
I have been working on writing this for days now but didn't know what to say...Our times at the track were phenomenal...Ben was such a fantastic rider and such a sweet and thoughtful young man...I wish he and Travis could have gotten to know each other lots better...I do want you to know that the track will never be the same without Ben and you there...Sunday's race was very somber, and I was horrified the whole time...From one MX mom to another, my heart is breaking for you and yours...Please still keep in touch with us and always know that I'm only a phone call or an email away if you need to talk...I pray that God can give you the courage and strength to help ease some of your pain...Ride hard in Heaven, Ben, we know you will...

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. We will miss Ben haning around at the track with us,he was such a wonderful young man. I read this when I need help trying to understand why - "You can't stop living life because one day you will be gone no matter what you do. Scary and sad, but take it one day at a time. Being active in life doesn't mean you tempt fate, it means you fulfill goals, take part in others lives, become friends with more folks, lead and not follow.. We can't stop activities and hide, death will find us no matter what we do. But you can celebrate the fact that you knew him and he touched your life..keep his memory alive by not forgetting him". Love Angela, John and Johnathon Bledsoe

I remember how ecstatic "Big Ben" was when Ben was born. "Little Ben" was his pride and joy. Just the other day, Big Ben and I were talking over the fence, he was saying how he had been climbing trees for 50 years, and was ready to retire and pass the business along to Little Ben. As next door neighbors, we were privileged to watch Little Ben grow up...just a year younger than our Nick. Won all sorts of awards and rankings, had a God given talent. How our hearts ache for you.

Celebrate his life & the influence he left behind on so many hearts.

I said a prayer of sympathy to the good lord up above, to ask him to console you and comfort you with love. I prayed for help to understand the wisdom of his ways, to trust that life is measured by love and not by days. I prayed he'd hold your loved one in the hollow of his hand filled with perfect peace and joy, according to his plan. Until that promised day when both of you will be together in his warm embrace throughout eternity.
Ben and Patti, our thoughts and prayers will always be with both of you and your family with deepest sympathy.

Little Ben was always a joy to be around, he was such a good kid . He will be missed so very much around the office every summer & when there was a break from school. He rarely complained he worked as hard as any of us to make his dad proud. Tragically he died doing something he loved doing.He will truly be missed. My heart breaks for you both.

Sally, It was with a great sense of loss when I heard of Ben's death.
I wanted to let you know that you have my greatest sympathy, and my heart is truly saddened.
I know that his passing will not only leave a void in not only your heart and others in the family, but in the hearts of all those who knew him.
You are in my thoughts and in my daily prayers. May God give you strength as well as all of the family.
My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you.

Big Ben,
Words truly are inadequate but you have my deepest sorrow and prayers. Though we lost touch a long time ago, it has always pleased me that my niece, Erika Booth, and your son have been friends for years. May you and yours be blessed by the love and support of those close to you. You have always had a special place in my heart because of what you meant to Larry.
