Thinking of you today, Ben. Our last conversation on a hot summer night, sitting on the cover of my hot tub talking about life. You were so intelligent and could always carry on the best conversations. You were so great with Rielly. The memories will live on. Rest easy, Ben!

My nephew Ben lived with me for more than a year. During that time we became very close. He was a joy to have around. My grandkids loved him. He was never too busy to play monopoly or basketball with them. He was one in a million, always kind and respectful. And always smiling. Ben you are truly loved. I miss you so much.

Our deepest sympathy to Joanne and the rest of the Linn family on this tragic loss. We can never fully understand why young people are taken in their prime, leaving heartache for those left behind. There are no shortcuts through grief, only a path, along which our Lord himself has walked and will walk with us with his gentle strength. Just know others from our church walk alongside you.

My condolences and prayers to the Linn family. Ben was one of my best agents, always positive, always smiling. He always had my back and was my partner in crime on our drives to work. He liked his job and loved his co-workers, always respectful, always helpful. His passing is a tremendous loss of such a beautiful soul, for every person's life that Ben touched. Rest in peace Ben, for you are missed and you are loved.
