So hard right now to make words... Browns games. Your season tickets to the Dawg Pound... Rangers hockey games and our trip to Carolina so I could see "The Cup" in person... All the NASCAR races (even though we both knew Sadler wasn't going to win)... Our golf outings to the Hollows... And of course all the trips to Cedar Point! I love you brother!

This really hurts, and I want to extend my deepest condolences to all of Ben's family and many friends. The passion that Ben had for all of his hobbies, interests, and loved ones was incredibly inspiring to everyone around him, and I'm proud to have been able to share some amazing trips, experiences, and stories with him for more than 20 years. It's hard to put into words right now, but may he be at peace and know he will always be remembered.

No words to express our deepest condolences to your family. Ben was a part of the coaster family and will be greatly missed. What a great man you raised!

I'm so sorry to hear of Ben's passing. I met Ben a few years ago after moving to VA, and he was the most welcoming person I've ever met. We also connected on our support of the Cavs, and our love of Cedar Fair. It seems unreal that this could be true; he will be dearly missed. My deepest condolences go out to his family. All the best.

I’m so very sorry and sad to hear about Ben’s passing. He was such a super nice guy and will be missed. I enjoyed hanging out with him at the River Dog’s hockey games. May he Rest In Peace. My sincere condolences to his family and other friends.

Hard to believe this is true. What an amazing young man! He had a positive impact on every person he met. He’s the guy you meet once and never forget. Too many times we’d meet in passing and say “man, we need to get together soon and talk” yet we never did again. I’ll always regret that. Ben, ride that collosalcoaster in the sky! Rest In Peace my friend. You’ll truly be missed.
