Ben was born and raised in the Texas panhandle. I’m sure you’ve heard the common saying “everything is bigger in Texas”…well, that his how Ben lived and loved. BIG.

His smile was big. His personality was big. His heart was big. His laugh was big. His career was big.

When Ben walked into a room, he commonly stole the show.  He captivated others with his smile, laugh, and his kind nature. He made friends wherever he went, always showing kindness, generosity and love with the ability to make anyone laugh.

Ben’s life was colorful being an adrenaline junkie. He was always seeking the thrill and fun out of life. It taught everyone that knew him to make life an adventure and enjoy the ride. To live life BIG.

The loss of Ben and the grief we have experienced has also been Big. However, knowing he has helped others has been a blessing. Ben was a true gift!
