We Love Benny.  He was Michael's (our grandson) best friend.  He came to our family meal's and we always had a good time.  Benny and Grandpa would visit about Spirit, Benny thought it was neat Grandpa worked there for almost 40 years.  Benny was very dry and so funny!!!  We will miss him so much.                                                                                            Thinking about you always  Mike and Kiley Cochran


Benny was always so kind and funny. He always called me Ms. Banos instead of Danielle or Chase and Katie’s mom. He was so respectful. He was a great young man that will be truly missed. 

I always enjoyed having Benny in class. He always had a way of making people smile and putting them at ease. He will be greatly missed by many.  

I was privileged to be one of Benny's principals during his school time at Douglass.  I always found him to have a friendly smile and a good natured disposition.    I enjoyed visiting with him when we had the opportunity to talk.  My Grandson, Calvyn, was one of Benny's classmates.  Calvyn  was sorry to hear about Benny's passing.  Calvyn is in the Army at Fort Sam Houston but he wanted to be express his sorrow to the family.

I only had the privilege of meeting Benny one time, but he left a lasting impression on me.  I was on the panel for his senior exit interview and I distinctly remember being extremely impressed with what a fine, intelligent, talented and well mannered young man he was. You should be very proud of the son you raised. He represented your family well. I am saddened to hear about your loss and will keep your family in my prayers. God bless. 

All the years our kids went to school I always thought that he was one of the kindest soul, always a smile,  when he was younger he was just a little shy...but once you broke through t you had a friend for life .  ALWAYS proud of his family...thoughts and prayers from our family

Benny was such a kind soul with the biggest heart. Heaven gained a true angel. You’ll be missed, big guy! 😢

Benny was a great young man. Always looking out for others. He loved working the farm with Gregg MacKay and Earl Simon. He will be missed by so many. Another life taken way too soon!  Praying for the family. 

I had the privilege of working with Ben on several community activities.  He was so outgoing and kind and had such a big heart.  Our thoughts and prayers are with all of his family and friends.  

He was the funniest guy with the biggest heart.  He always tried his hardest at everything he did but never forgot to smile and be kind.  He will be truely missed.  

I am so sad to hear about Ben. He was a good person and will be sorely missed. I will muss seeing him at union label.  I pray for strength and comfort for your family.   Gary and Pat Hall
