Benjamin, you brought sunshine to so many lives. You have been loved so well and missed so much. Our tears are for the light gone from our lives, and tempered with the heartfelt knowledge that you shine brighter now in Heaven. Now a light we see with each rising star. Your memory will live on in so many hearts. We know this world is a better place because you were here to share it with so many. May you rest in peace, knowing you are so loved.

Some things are so hard to understand, and really there will never be an answer that makes sense, but yet as believers in Christ Jesus we are called to choose to Bless the Lord who gives and who takes away. Still praying for both families and friends. I'm not sure how things work in Heaven, but I do know that we will know each other, so I'm sure that my dad, Benjamin's Uncle Carl, greeted him at some point and they are worshipping God together, and that one day we will all see each other again. Uncle Ben, I wish I could have been there in person to give you a hug and tell you how sorry I am. Know that prayers are being lifted up on your behalf all the way in California.

Ben,
We had so much fun when we were little. I know we didnt talk as much when we were in high school and i never got to tell you how great of a guy you were. You were so sweet and innocent. We always had so much fun together. We rode four wheelers, and you would always pop a wheelie and scare the crap outta me. I remember one time you did and the four wheeler stood straight up haha. We would walk to train tracks and i remember there was a train one time and we hid in the bushes and watched it. It was so cool. You were the best guy anyone could ask for. You and Taylor made me happy. You guys were perfect together.I cant wait to see you again. I love you and will miss you so much. We wont ever forget you..
