May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. We are so very sorry for this heartbreaking loss. We knew Ben as a sweet child in Elementary school. He was a delight. The World is just a sadder place without his sweet smile and face.

I can honestly say that I never saw Ben without a smile on his face. He was the type of person that would make you happier just by being around him. I’m very saddened for your whole family. It was obvious he had a loving family by the way he acted towards others. Always so positive. It’s been years since I’ve seen Ben, and not that we were ever super close, but I really do think the world will be a little bit colder without a person like him in it.

Ashton, I am so saddened to learn of your loss! I cannot even begin to imagine the heaviness of heart you and your family are experiencing during this very sad time. No parent should have to endure the loss of a son or daughter.
May God grant Benjamin's soul eternal peace and we pray that you and your family's hearts will be lightened a bit with each passing day. Stay well, my Friend!

Ben was someone who would light up a room with positivity. He made you believe in yourself! Even when you didn't think it was possible. He made you believe in art and would teach you anything. you couldn't help but admire his strong sense of self and passion for expression. The photos, videos etc aren't what I'll cherish the most... it's the art we made.
