Benjamin "Ben" Whitney

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. So very sorry for the loss of your son.

I cannot imagine a world without you ben. I loved you so much.

Ben faced his battles. However, they we never an used as an excuse! Ben lived his life the way he saw fit! Very smart, talented, and now at peace.

God has blessed me to have a friend like Ben. We skated, danced, palyed games and even did gardening together. He joined up with my crew and got to spend many hours just practicing and talking with him. I got to go to his art shows and he try to teach me how to blow glass. Ben rode your bike all the way across town to Henderson Castle for my wedding, and got to hold and play with my first son and got to share some talk over my newborn daughter this February. All this starting from working...

Ben you were always a stellar dude. Your happiness was always apparent, and you were a good friend to those around you by spreading it whenever you could. My heart goes out to your family for losing such a loving son and brother. You had vivid memories you shared in reflection of your journeys in life, these videos know we'll cycle back to time and time as we miss you. Being thoughtful even after the fact, as always.

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

Ben.....your presence has touched many, with your love, your humor and your art. You will be missed by those still here on this earth...I know you are in heaven in the loving arms of God. Judy, Craig, Ashley and Bianca...know you are loved by God and all your friends and family. We love and support you and pray for peace. Hugs and love....Craig & Shari

I was lucky enough to have seen the amazing glassblowing talent of Ben. I also worked with him for a bit. He was always so friendly and approachable. My heartfelt condolences to his parents.
