Bennie you touched so many lives and was a wonderful person. My heart goes out to all my friends as well as yours, that are so truly devastated by your passing. Rest in peace Big Dog. I can see you sliding up to our lord and savior playing the air guitar as we speak. (I will tell someone their breath Stinks in your honor) Rock On
Oh Bennie , what an absolute blessing you were to meet! I only remember you from Sparta Craft when you worked with Jamie but you were an amazing soul! Talented to no end! You made the mash up song for my oldest daughter’s wedding and I’ll FOREVER cherish that! You will definitely be missed my friend! We will keep your family in our prayers! RIP my friend! Family take note and apply what you’ve learned from this senseless loss! For God has a reason behind same as He did for my boy! 🙏💜🙏 Always in our prayers!
Rest easy Bennie play that guitar for Jesus now! Gonna miss you bro! Was always love when we seen each other.
My thoughts and prayers are with Big Ben and Shawn and the rest of the family. “Cuz, you were and still are one of the very best of us, all of us. It’s the world’s loss but heavens gain. As heavy as all our hearts are, time will heal just as for whatever God’s reason, it was Ben’s time. His job was done. So as we mourn together and reflect back on memories shared, let’s think about our time left here and what our job my be. Maybe it’s to bring light to this world and raise up those around us and bring the true meaning of life “To Life”, just as Ben did.
Thinking of all those who loved and knew Bennie. This moment is the time to celebrate his young life. May all the memories be fond ones to carry you through this difficult time of loss
May God comfort and provide peace beyond our understanding as everyone unites in harmony for the gift God shared with us in the life of Bennie.
