    Man, it has taken me a while to digest this...it still hurts to think about, but I only found my way back to this page because I still think of you, Ben.

    I was lucky enough to see much of you growing up, and maybe missed some of the more recent years,...  more

    Ben was a regular fixture in our home over the years. I would see his unmistakable form trundling through the woods or come downstairs to find him contemplating the contents of our fridge. Even now, I look around the house and see random things that...  more

    I had the pleasure of getting close to Ben at 4-H camp over the years. He was constantly keeping me on my toes and always making those around him laugh. He was a goofy, outgoing, and an amazing person all around. I’ll never forget him at all the camp...  more

    Ben was such a great person. I don’t even know where to start, i knew something was up but I didn’t know it was that bad. I wish I could just have 5 more minutes with him to tell him how much I love him. I remember the last time we spoke, I didn’t...  more

    From Maura Ramsay:

    Ben has always been a natural entertainer. In third grade, when Michael Jackson had recently passed away, Ben was openly upset about it. So upset, in fact, he felt he needed to fill Michael Jackson’s shoes—and he came close. He...  more

    I didn’t know Ben very well but I had a few friends that were close with him. They were very few times I hung out with him and we were in the same Senior English Class. It made me realize that he was one the few people I felt comfortable being around...  more

    In my third grade class I was a very stressed and anxious little girl. Not just me, but a strong majority of my class was very serious when it came to school. Ben was very different, he was the one person to bring laughter, smiles, and...  more
