My sincere condolences go out to the Parsons family. Just as everyone has mentioned, Ben was such a bright light and truly one of a kind. I met Ben in the dorms freshmen year at Western, “Ben UP” we always called him. Every time you saw him you were greeted with a “heyyyy!!” and a big hug. I found this picture from when Ben hosted us at his house in Manistee. We had such an amazing weekend, canoeing all day and Ben playing guitar and singing by the camp fire at night. Praying for Ben’s loved ones and wishing you peace and comfort as you grieve.
