To the Jacobs family,

I was sorry to hear about your loss. Ben was a good friend in elementary through high school. We know the pain you are feeling. We lost our mother a day before Ben passed. Our condolences and prayers for all of you. The world needed two more angels so he called upon Ben and Mom.

God Bless. Love, Mike Araiza

I have some great memories of my cousin Benjamin. We didn't see each other too often but when we did, we had a great time hanging out listening to hard rock together; in fact, he's one of the first to turn me on to Aerosmith, Pink Floyd and many others! I lost contact with him for a long time but I saw him not too long ago. We laughed and talked about the good times we had as kids. He was one of the nicest guys I ever knew. RIP Ben, the next time we get to see each other, we'll listen to Aerosmith's Toys In the Attic together...just like old times....

To the Jacobs family,

I am very sorry to learn about Ben's passing. Even though Ben and I had lost touch for many years I still think back to the days of when we are friends in kindergarten and elementary school. Those were very special times to me, he and I riding horses together and playing cowboys. Although it is difficult for you now I hope some day your memories are only good. I will keep the memory of us riding off into the sunset alive until the day I die. Goodbye old friend.

With sincere condolences, Mark Tovsen
