If it doesn't get taken down n if it does it not a big deal. Took while for me to get on here and say something cause everyone knows how much I love you. You gave me a great life and I loved everything bout our life. We was never boring. And our relationship was exciting and crazy. Our life together was a wild ride I always treasure. Thanks for being a good father n daddy to our girls. You only dad they knew n u were good to them even when we had our ups n downs. I wouldn't take nothing bk from our life together because its was great. We're Tonia n Ben always will be. I miss u bad baby it's too quiet n boring so I know we be bk together again soon. There never be another couple quite like us Ben by baby *LU*♥️ always 

A lot of people say I look just like my Mama, but this picture right here says I look just like my Daddy. I’ll forever be his Nikki Mouse. RIP Dad, I love you and miss you so much.

I met Ben when him and Tonia lived on the road beside a guy I dated a long time ago. They were always generous and inviting. Years later our paths crossed again as my fiance, Heath, met and worked with Ben. Small world.  I'm terribly sorry for everyone that loved Ben and every one that Ben loved. I know all to well the pain you are all feeling as I lost my Heath 15 months ago. I hope yall can come together and are all allowed the healing that is very needed as emotions run high in such heartbreaking times. Ben loved you all and surley hed want just that. 

Ben was the best stepdad a girl could ask for! He took me in and loved me like I was his! He took up for me when no one else would! I remember all the holidays he would cook for the entire family! He always made sure my kids had gifts and candy every time he seen them! He never failed to surprise me with shoes and clothes! What he did for one of us he would do for the rest! He didn’t choose favorites he loved us all the same! He always answered my calls day or night, rain or shine, 20ft in the air or flat footed on the ground he was there when no one else was! We used to not get along very well but he became the father I never had and one of my most reliable persons in my life! Whether, he had hundreds of dollars or five dollars, he would give it to me if I needed it! I could ask him for anything and if he could he would make sure I had it! I always had a place to go as long as he was there! He was my ride or die! He loved my mom and would go to the ends of the earth to prove it! He did so much for her and made her kids his own! He was the glue that held our family together! Justin, Nikki, Whitie, Shastin, and I will forever be brothers and sisters because of the love Ben had for us! It bonded us in ways that will forever hold true! I loved Ben so much!  Before he left Alabama, he came to my house to see me and tell me  he loved me and take of myself and that he loved my boys! He was the best Papa in the world and he will be  greatly missed! These last few months Ben and I leaned on each other, he called me when he just needed to talk and to check on me! He helped me out when no one else would and I helped him too! He always told me I would be his daughter and no one could take that away! He loved me and I loved him! I am gonna forever miss my dad!! This hurts so bad and I just wish I could get another phone call or text cause I keep checking for one! I love u! 

I remember him loving my mom so much that he would literally kill somebody if they hurt her I remember going to the creek and fishing all of us as a family I remember going up hail Mountain in my mamas truck and the brakes went out my mama was so scared but she wouldn't let us know bc we were kids I remember ben laughing about the whole situation and I remember how he loved my kids so much he woulda moved heaven and earth for them the minute ben held ensliegh for the first time she went straight to sleep i remember how he loved to pick at everyone all the time and he thought it was the funniest thing ever I remember being able to call him and say we have no food and he would bring us food or me calling and saying I have no wipes and he would bring wipes I remember that he got my husband off drugs and saved his life  I remember everything that matters everything that makes ben who he was and nobody can change that we were a huge part of his life and he was ours 

I remember being 3 storeys n the air on some big roofs me n big ben its a wounder we didn't fall off some of them .Ben im gonna miss u big man n im praying for your family..FLY HIGH N RIP BROTHER YOU ARE GOING TO BE MISSED AND U WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN....REST EASY BROTHER

I remember every weekend we would go up on the mountains go mudding, go fishing, go hunting and all i will live up his legend to be the biggest country boy.
