I’m devastated . We were FB friends since 2017. I thought he was just taking a break from FB but started to worry after it had been so long. and decided to go to his homepage.
Please tell me what happened. I’m heartbroken. We had many exchanges. I thought he was so smart and funny.
What a shock. I’m in Virginia and don’t know anyone to contact. I’m so sorry. Dear Family, he was so full of life and I feel such an emptiness. May God comfort you all.

feel so lonely. I was afraid to find out for sure if he was gone, but a huge bright red cardinal came and stood on my patio table. I decided I better find out, and now I know. I will miss him, but I know where he is ! I am so sorry for the loss this family has experienced, and all I can say is, now heaven is sounding sweeter all the time .

the world has lost a talented wordsmith with the intent of pointing us to our better nature. May all read your stories, prayers, promises and listen to your beautiful voice when your presence is missed. To Ben's family, May each of you be surrounded by the love and support of family and friends. Juanita Wigley WEHS

It seems Ben finished all the work he was sent to earth to do, and the time was right for him to let go and be free of pain, free of fears and free of worries....free as a beautiful butterfly, returning home to God.
In loving memory of all the laughs we shared
Of all the secrets bared,
Of all the rainbows chased,
And all the other things
That death cannot erase.
I will always remember Ben fondly...

Ben will certainly be missed. He was very vocal on Facebook. Speaking his mind and adding to the debates. May God hold his family in the palm of His hand during this time of grief. Ben fly high with the Lord.
