I didn't know Ben, but my heart has been heavy since I learned of his passing. I hope others who read of him in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune and other noted publications that have featured his story will be inspired to reach higher, be brave through adversity, and to not waste the precious time the Lord gives us on earth. I am thankful for young Ben's life and send prayers for hope and healing to all who grieve his loss.

Ben was one of the sweetest kids/young men I knew. He always had a smile ready for you in the halls of Discovery. I will always remember when Ben got some fancy shoes and loved them so much. He was going hiking and put grocery bags over them so they didn't get dirty. He was a great friend to Greyson and will always have a special place in the Gonzalez's hearts. Sending love to all who knew him and knowing that this world is missing a big piece of it with him gone.
