Benjamin Edward "Ben" Thompson

You were my brother's best friend. You became my friend after he passed. Ben, you were such a comfort to me, having you in my life was kind of like I still had Aaron. I went back to our last contact, wow, the timing. I cannot wrap my mind around the fact that you are gone. Ben, I have typed and deleted paragraphs. I have no idea what to say. I will miss you; I have missed you, I didn't know you were gone.

I´m very grateful to have known Ben for over 30+ years I truly loved his passion for racing and his family . You achieved so much more than so many ever thought possible with your family and racing together, you will always be very deeply missed until we race again , Willy

When I first started working at DCPP in the Electric Shop, I met Ben. The first time I met him, I told him "you must be a great dude because my son´s name is Benny too." He quickly became one of my best friends, always checking in to make sure I was okay and that I didn´t need anything. He was the type of person thats love and joy filled a room - he was the life of the party and always looking out for his friends. Ben will be greatly missed. Knowing him was an honor and being his friend was a true privilege. Rest in peace, Ben. I know heaven had a party when you entered the pearly gates like has never been seen before.

Hugs to you all! Unbelievable~ without a doubt he will be missed!Positive thoughts and prayers sent your way!!
