Not sure what to say?

I hated hearing this when my cousin told me yesterday. My heart goes out to his family especially Rachel who I know he loved dearly. Benton was one of a kind. There's nothing but good things I can say about him. I can't even tell you the stories associated with him that to this day all I can say is that Benton was a someone that always brought color into this world. I will never forget all the fun I had associated with Benton and I am sure right now Heaven is waiting on what he will say next...
