Our prayers go out to the all of Ben's family and friends. When our Cheryl was in Seattle taking care of our dying sister, Ben called her every day to check on her condition and say hello. He was very special in that way, and helped us after Hurricane Ike with our fence and house repairs. What a special man with many talents. God bless his mother, siblings, children and grandchildren.

Riding along those golden roads, wide open and so free.
Please know we miss your smiling face, your laughter and your glee.
You left us behind, but not by choice, God called to you. "Bennett" it's time to go! Just like that you were gone, now time just moves so slow.
As hours weeks and days tick by, our thoughts of you continue. We sit. we talk, we laugh, we cry because of how much we miss you. So from us to you our dear sweet friend, we sure know you're "just bein Ben" as you ride alongside God. When you hear our weekend rides fire up and hear that power roar, God and you please ride along and keep open all those doors.

Theresa, David and I are truly sorry for the loss of your Bennett. I didn't personally know him, but when he was the manager of Beall's department store, he was my brother's boss and he was such a good, kind man to my brother (who is mentally challenged). He took the time to help him with his job and always treated him with respect. We hope that you will find peace in prayer and we will be praying for you and all the family.

Lots of love and prayers for you

To Bennett's family, Theresa, and all who knew and loved him:

We were blessed to know Bennett, if only for a short time. He had just finished building a fence for us and we sensed that he was a very special person.
We are truly saddened to hear of not only your loss, but the whole world's as well. What a wonderful man! We too will miss him! May the Lord comfort you all with His supernatural peace.

I only got to know Ben in the last five years or so but he was such a great man. Every time I saw him I said, "How ya been Ben?" and he would say "Just been bein' Ben". I am sure it got old fast but he was always such a great sport! He will be missed by so many. We love you Ben.

To The Reeher Family,

My heartfelt sympathy to each and everyone of Ben's Family. I will lift all of you up in my prayers.

He was my dearest and special friend for the last eleven years. We were always there for each other. Words cannot express how much Ben's friendship meant to me. He seemed to always know what to say or do in any situation, especially with that certain smile and "hey you". Rest in peace my dear friend, for I will always love you and keep you in my heart forever.
