To Hailey and Landrie,
I am so sorry your father has died.
It's very difficult to find the right words to say in times like this, but I hope you will find comfort knowing so many are thinking of you and praying for you.
Your Dad was such a funny and easy going guy, I loved his laugh. I had the privileged of working with him and 1 year for Halloween our group dressed up as Rock of Ages Ben was a Rock Star! He really played the part wearing a long fur coat and a cowboy hat. He really got into the role and we had so much fun!
Please know I'm praying for you and your whole family.

Words cannot express the sadness I feel at this time. Ben was such a great person to work with and know. I know he loved his family so much and his girls were the light of his life. Even after I moved to Houston, he still texted me the pictures of all the great seats he got at the Rangers and Cowboys games just so I could see a little bit of home! He loved those teams. Praying that God will bring comfort and peace to each of his family.

Ben's precious family,

I'm extremely sorry that God decided He needed Ben earlier than later. We will all miss his generous and caring heart. He is such a wonderful man!

Ben and I met in Latin class at Richland High School and remained close friends throughout the years. Since Ben loved sports, he and I shared our love of baseball by attending many Texas Ranger games together. We also enjoy going out to eat and had such wonderful conversations. Ben was an excellent listener! I will miss everything about Ben (his warm smile, sense of humor, and especially all the laughs we shared during our 28 year friendship.

Godspeed my dear, beautiful friend. You will remain in all of our hearts always.

Love and miss you!

Ben's Becki ❤

To the entire Wren family, my heart is broken for all of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers today and the many weeks and months to come.

I am still speechless, but I will be back and share some of my favorite memories. Not sure if anyone knew how incredibly close we were. My dear Ben,I'm so sorry and my heart aches. I will never forget you or all of our funny inside jokes. My mind is just going over all the good times. Ben was a very special man, and he treated me like a queen. I cant believe I'll never hear his voice again. We will always have our love of Taylor Swift. (sorry about your man card sweetie.)I miss you already.
To his family, you have my sympathy and respect. He was a wonderful man. I'm sorry for the pain all of you are going through. I feel he is at peace, but of course wish he was still with us.To the girls, he never stopped bragging on each of you. Hope this makes sense.
