    Charming and you his determination to live..
    Ben, made a difference in my life, my children’s lives.
    He for a few yrs was my go to man, and I was his, only to be a rock, picked eachother up when we were down.
    Then life took me a different direction and I wasn’t in Ben’s everyday life, but we always had this connection when we would get together, something very special.
    He took apart of my heart and soul, as did I him.
    You will be missed
    I look forward to meeting you again when the time is right.
    RIP Benjamin
    Always forever LOVE..

    I knew Ben from MDA Summer Camp. He had a terrific sense of humor and got along well with everyone. I remember him dressed as G.I. Elvis back in 2000, he was beaming from ear to ear the whole night.

    That smile will be missed but I pray for God to speed you through this difficult time with family, friends and faith.

    When I first met you we hit it of right away. You loved to mess with me when you were on your computer. I would be in another room and I would here this CARLA JONES. It became a game to us. He really didn’t want me. He Just wanted me to come in there. We had alot of good talks. I knew his sister the best. The night she surprised him for his B-Day And brought him a lizard. He returned from going to his concert to see Garth Brooks. She had it all set Up for him. Thank you for some Great times And conversation. You were so Awsome. Glad I got the pleasure to meet with you thank you for the Awsome memories.

    Sorry to hear about Ben. Went to school with him from middle school through highschool. He was a wonderful person and we all really enjoyed talking to him on the bus ride home from school every day. I really wish I would have kept in touch with him after graduation.

    I taught Ben in English class. I looked forward to seeing his smiling face each day. He and Frank Mazeitis, a paraprofessional here at school, were always together and were very close. One thing I remember most is a beautiful poem Ben wrote and framed for his sister at the end of his sophomore year, showing his love for her.

    Ben certainly was loved here at Platte County High School and will be missed by us all.

    I met Ben when I first moved to KC. We went to Barry school and Platte county together. I remember him having quite the thing for the ladies ;). He was sweet funny and a good dancer( the way he spun me around at my homecoming freshman yr). How excited he got when he showed me his bedroom on his 16th birthday . Sad to say that was the last time I seen Ben until I found him on Facebook. Ben you’ll forever be missed

    I had Ben in my Business Technology class at Northland Career Center. We installed Dragon Naturally Speaking so he could “type” on the computer. He did an awesome job in class; his classmates enjoyed having him there, as did I. I’ve thought of him often throughout the last several years. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
