Rest In Peace, Kofi. I went to Berea College a year after Kofi graduated, but he came back for homecoming to welcome and interact with new international students who came to Berea College after him. This is how I met Kofi, who was also a very good friend of my brother Roland Wornor while they both studied at Berea. One of Kofi's final posts on Facebook was about Berea College. He will be missed dearly by the Berea College Community. May his soul Rest In Peace.

I just learnt of this today. Ben and I went to Berea College together. He was always kind, courteous and fun to be around. My condolences to the family. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. May he rest in peace.

Kofi and I went to Berea College together. This is devastating news. You know you go about your life thinking the friends you had in college are all going to live out their lives as completely as you believe they should. Kofi was VERY popular at Berea. I just stumbled across this news. I am not sure Kofi's friends from college are even aware this horrible thing has happened. A very kind and humble soul. Rest in peace brother.

I had the pleasure and joy of working with Benjamin as his vocal coach recently. He inspired me with his wise words and compassion. I know how much he loved his family. I am so very sad to find out about his passing. I will be praying for his family.

Benjamin inspired me. He gave generously of his time and heart in service to people in need in Ghana. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Benjamin, Benjamin, Benjamin....I enjoyed getting to know you so much over the past year. I will truly miss you. My prayers are with your family. The beginning of the message was something fun we would say to Benjamin every time he missed a putt on the golf course. What a great man!! Respectfully Jeff Lumpp

It was at Aquinas College, when I first met Benjamin. Within the first minute, you could easily tell his presence filled the room. Anytime I found myself at AQ, I would always make it a point to stop by and say hello. Our conversations were always full of laughter and good cheer. He had a way of making you feel at ease, as if he were your best friends. When I left, I always felt enriched. His persona was larger than life itself. Not often do you come across a person in life that leaves such...
