I wish you were still here to see your baby girl and how much she's grown! You were an angel here, your smile and your caring ways says it all. God has a plan for all of us and I'm guess he was ready to take you back to heaven because what he had planned for was done. You made an impact on every single life you came in contact with, you are missed very much by all of all us. What ever plan God had for you here we may never know until later in life. I love you been

Sweet Ben! There isn't a day that goes by that your memories aren't talked about in this house. The funny, sweet , loving things you did and said will forever be talked about. Youve truly made an impact in everyone's lives for the better. So Thankful for the Angel you left with Lacey that lights up any room she walks into. I don't think she could be any more perfect to being exactly like you inside and out and is growing up to be beautiful inside and out. Some nights I wish I could say things to help Lacey get through the night or wipe her tears , I know you are right there beside her as she does her daily things. Rest in peace my friend

I miss you more and more as the days pass on. I will never for as long as I live forget you or that huge bright smile of yours. I couldn't have hand picked a better best friend. God brought you into my life for a reason and I will cherish the memories we shared forever ? I love you Benjamin. Rest peacefully angel....

Couldn't understand why God took you. However, after meeting hundreds of people that you had touched with that infectious smile I knew you was needed in heaven to smile with the angels.

Mrs. Molly, Mr. Benjo, family, and our sweet Lacey, just want you all to know that you are in our prayers. Ben was a very special person. He had a beautiful smile, and a beautiful heart. That was obvious in the way he loved his family, including our daughter Lacey, and grandchildren, Ryan, Peyton, and Kylah. We will always see his beauty in the eyes of his precious daughter, Kylah. God bless you all and be with you during this time of sorrow.

Ben where should I start? I'll never forget all the childhood memories when you would always be across the street at Ron's and you ron and matt would come hang out with me and my sisters. We would always find something to get into. I remember we would all play baseball on the empty lot before my house was built on it. You always had a smile, when you would come over and my mom would open the door to let you in you'd always say WUDDUP DAYDAY! Haha I'm glad I saw you and gave you a hug at TNT a few weeks ago, never knew it'd be the last. Love you fly high with Justin & big Dan y'all behave up there. Watch over us all & especially your babygirl!

Big Ben- You will certainly be missed but never forgotten. Although we will never understand why people are taken so young, we have to trust in God and know he had a better plan for you and that your work on Earth was done. Please give my brother a BIG ole Big Ben hug for me and tell him I love him. I will see you again one day!

I'm so sorry to hear the loss of Ben. We haven't spoken much since high school but to hear of his passing is sad. He was a great person, I don't remember a time since I have known him to see him in a bad mood. He smiled through everything. He was a great guy. I'll continue to pray for strength as you deal with the upcoming days. God Bless.

February 25, 2013

I cant even begin to wrap my head around this...you were my first "blind date" way back in the day....you grew up into an amazing man...and father...its had to see all this happening....I pray for peace and strength for your family during this time....You are now safe in the arms of our heavenly father...for eternity...RIP dude....

My thoughts and prayers are with all of Ben's family and friends. I had the pleasure of meeting Ben under not so pleasent circumstances, when My nephew Justin Poissot was also in an accident. Ben never left that hospital for five days he was there with my family praying for his friend and so supportive of my sister and family. It was evident the bond those two shared and we felt blessed that Justin had such a special friend in his life. Ben was a piece of Justin in our eyes. They are together now with eternal life. Both called home to soon. My heart is heavy but I know that Ben leaves you many great memories, accomplishments and love. May God comfort you and find you peace in the days ahead. Love to you all~

My heart and prayers go out to you in this time of sorrow for peace, comfort and understanding as you go through this difficult time.
