I met Ben through some friends at a youth group. My brother, Bobby and he bonded like brothers immediately. I remember Ben being so kind and gentle all the time. He was so fun to be around, his smile was permeating. My fondest memory of him was discussing the Bible at a spring break Bible retreat. He was so bright and had so much love inside of him. I'll miss him and always remember him as a brother, a twin of my own brother. They were the same. My heart hurts for everyone who knew and loved this man. He was a good man.

I went to school with Ben at Eaton, I can still remember well hanging out with him and playing in grade school and can remember the day I heard he had got hurt and looking forward to him coming back to school. I remember he had a hard time getting around for a while but was still determined to play with the rest of us.I will never forget Bens smile and how inspired I was by his courage. It had probably been fifteen years since I last saw Ben but I will never forget him. May god bless you. and be with his family in this tough time.

I was friends with Ben's sister Carol and I played accordion in the band Ben played for. I always remember Ben being so happy, always smiling and always so nice. I have so many wonderful childhood memories of Ben and his family.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I have your family in my prayers.

Dennis and Paleri,
I cannot imagine what you are going through right now, but I know the One who is there with you as you go through it. He loves you so much and will never forsake you. We can all be thankful that Ben walked with Jesus, and so is still walking with Him now.
Love in Christ,
Kathy

I went to school with Ben in elementary and can remember his big smile. He went through a lot back then and could always smile. I haven't seen him since then but he came to my mind last week and I prayed for him. I will miss him but I am glad that he lived a good life. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
