BENJAMIN BATTERS Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 28, 2013.
BATTERS - We are heartbroken to announce the death of our son Benjamin Alan Batters, six months after being diagnosed with a brain tumour, at 11 years of age. Benjamin had a wonderful spirit and love of life, and this translated into a very well lived 11 years. Benjamin enjoyed many things, including playing the piano, playing hockey, working with his dad or his grandpa, hanging out with his friends, playing with his siblings, and travelling to Phoenix. He had a lot of fun. Benjamin was predeceased by his grandfather, Elgin Batters. He is survived by his parents, Alan Batters and Donna Cross, his brothers Lane and Emerson and his sister Hazel, his grandparents Lane and Jeanette Cross of Kipling, grandparents Kathie and Norm Miller of Regina, grandparent Joyce Parker of Kipling. He is survived by all of his aunts, uncles, and cousins: David and Kristen Batters (Nixen), Kipling, SK, Shelley Schutz (Jaida, Gracie, Halle), Carlyle, SK, Barbara Cross, Regina, Judy Cross and Doug Hogan (Kayla, Lucas), Saskatoon, SK, Nancy and Pat Hollman (Emily, Matthew), Macklin, SK, Mary and Ronald Henrion (Calvin, Amy, Jessica) Redvers, SK, and Elaine Cross and Rob Smales (Frances), Vancouver, SK. The funeral service will be held in the Kipling Recreation Centre, Kipling, SK. on Monday, December 30, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. Janet Sigurdson officiating. A private family interment will be held in the Lansdowne Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a charity of choice.

Al, Donna, and family. Took a while for me to find the words to describe the honor I felt when Benjamin and I not just played a piano a duet together but in my mind...totally rocked it! And we ended with a fist bump! He was a special talented young man that I'm sure touched everyone's heart as he touched mine in the short time we met. Whenever I play Frank Mill's Peter Piper it will be for Benjamin. Lotsa love to you and all the family, Sheila Batters

I can't imagine the pain you all are suffering at this time and just to say how sorry this news even though I did not even know Little Ben. I am friends of all the Henrions and live in Texas. May God, through His love and Mercy comfort you and your family through this terrible time in your life. He tell us when we are born is the start of the plan for our lives and when that plan is complete, He will bring us home.

We were shocked and saddened to hear that Benjamin had been diagnosed with a brain tumour. To think that you lost your son of eleven years is gut-wrenching. I sometimes think that God is only loaning us these beautiful angles and that eleven years with him was a gift. Dad told me that you adored him. I'm so sorry that I didn't meet him. I know that each one of you is suffering your own loss. Lots of love. xoxo Thinking of you and sending healing thoughts. Love Ann Fyfe (Batters)

Hi there. You don't know me, but I was touched by the online obituary of your son and wanted to hopefully pass on some words of comfort. Children are impossible not to love in all their curiosity and growth, and no doubt losing your young friend will leave an aching void in your hearts. Fill this void with 2 things: 1) The cherished memories of your son's happy life - there is truly no more credit and joy to a parent than having raised a happy child. 2) The love of the people who are lucky enough to still be here. No one is guaranteed to see the sun set on any day, so make each day a beautiful one, and in doing so honor the memory of your dear son. Smile about every good person in life you've had the chance to hold dear, and share both tears and laughter freely with those people. This is not a burden you will have to bear alone with a strong and embracing community behind you. All the best in health and happiness to your brave family in the future.
