Benjamin Tomy Cumberbatch

Dear Cumberbatch family,

My son, Willie, enjoyed knowing Ben in elementary school, and I remember him as a sweet kid. Blessings and heartfelt condolences to you all. - Julie Wickert

Jennifer and A.C., I just found out this very sad news! Know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. We are so very sorry for this heartbreaking loss. We knew Ben as a sweet child in Elementary school. He was a delight. The World is just a sadder place without his sweet smile and face.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I can honestly say that I never saw Ben without a smile on his face. He was the type of person that would make you happier just by being around him. I’m very saddened for your whole family. It was obvious he had a loving family by the way he acted towards others. Always so positive. It’s been years since I’ve seen Ben, and not that we were ever super close, but I really do think the world will be a little bit colder without a person like him in it.

I am an Austinite and a mom. Your son is so beautiful - his kindness radiates from his picture. I am praying for peace for all of his family. I am terribly sorry for your loss.

I don’t know you, but I saw a picture of your beautiful son in the paper, and I am so very sorry. There is no way to imagine what you’re going through. My heart aches for you.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Our time together was all too brief - but sweet. The touch of your life will not be forgotten. With love, always.
