I remember years ago having a conversation with Ben where he shared how much he missed his mother which led to a conversation with him wanting to know God more. I was able to tell him about Jesus. He had lots of questions, but was very receptive to accepting Jesus in his heart . My encounter with Ben was beautiful! My heart and prayers goes out to his entire family and friends! I know he'll be truly missed!!!
