Extending my deepest sympathy to your family during this time. My prayers and blessings are with you..

We were very sorry to hear about Ben. Our hearts go out to you during this very difficult time. Our deepest sympathies to all.

While I only knew him for a short while, he was one of the absolute nicest people I´ve met. Easy to talk to and talented in baking, Ben was an all around great guy. My heart goes out to his family.

I only knew Ben for a short while, but the time I spent with him made a huge impact on my life. He was one of the only people at allstate band that went out of his way to talk to me. He was always so kind and cheery. His fun and positive attitude showed me what it is truly like to be a musician. He inspired me to pursue music in college and that is what I am currently doing. Thank you, Ben. For helping me realize the true happiness and awesomeness that is music. Also, he was a hell of a horn...

It took me a while to be able to write this. Ben was an incredible person. He was helpful and kind, and one of the funniest people I've ever met. He was so full of life, and i cant even start to understand how to express how much i will miss him. I'll always remember you Ben, your time here was too short.

It´s been a while since I last talked to Ben in-person, but when I think of him I think of someone so incredibly talented, creative, and funny. We had geometry together freshman year of high school, and he was such a chill, sweet guy. When I moved away, I looked forward to seeing his social media updates. Whether it was a new recipe, a new project, or instrumental practices, I was also intrigued by what he was up to. He was truly a joy to be around, and I will remember him fondly.

I wasn´t very close to Ben. I knew him from Regions and Allstate auditions. I actually met him on my allstate audition line where I was freaking out about whether I´d make mistakes. He told me that life was too short to worry about mistakes and told me life´s precious and once. I´ll remember that forever now and always be inspired by his way of life
