Ben had a light in him that couldn’t be dimmed. He was the kind of person who made you better just by being near him—and he challenged you. Being around him made you think more deeply, love more fully, and be more honest with yourself.
His smile was its own kind of sunshine—the kind that spread fast and stayed with you long after. He could light up a room with a look.
He didn’t move through the world the way most people do, but that’s what made his presence unforgettable. He left fingerprints on hearts. He touched more lives than most ever will—not by what he did, but by who he was.
We’ll miss Ben every day—but we’re better for having known him.
