Please join me in prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
It is with the heaviest of hearts that I come before you today. I humbly ask for your gracious spirit to fall upon Ben's wife and child, his family, his friends and all of us. Almighty God we are all hurting at the loss of our brother, I would ask for your comforting arms to wrap around us all and for the peace that surpasses all understanding to come upon us. We ask that you will lift up the family in the coming days and weeks ahead, give them the strength and courage they will need to go on. Give those surrounding the family the wisdom to be of help and encouragement to the loved ones Ben left behind. I would pray that you would help us all to examine our lives and to make sure we have placed our wives, children and family's second only to you. Let us never forget how quickly life can be snatched away from us and to cherish each moment you grant us on this Earth.
Be with each and every one of us, especially Ben's wife, daughter and family and bless them, shower them with your love.
It is in the name of the Almighty God we pray.
AMEN

Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched,
unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed
together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just
around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall smile at the trouble of parting, when we meet again.
It does not count.

Ben,
There is nothing I can say that already hasnt been said. I feel like I lost a brother and a great friend. I have looked up to you ever since you replyed to a post of mine. You were living the dream and I was dreaming the dream. My prayers are with you and your family. RIP Brother, you will always be missed.

Rest in peace Ben and I hope that your family will be able to overcome this tragic loss. It has truely touched each and everyone of us here in 6speed and in other car forums and I offer my heart felt prayers to you, your wife and your little daughter.
This is a sad day indeed, for this forum has not only lost a valued member, it has lost a brother to everyone here, me included, who's infectious love of cars transcended oceans to find it's way even here, nearly 10,000 miles from where you lived.
May your soul be in heaven and may your loving family find the solace that they seek in the love expressed by everyone here.
Respectfully,

I am very sorry to hear of his passing. We have never met but I have been reading his posts and enjoying his pictures. Everyone seemed to think highly of him
I have searched through some posts but couldn't find any information on his passing. Could someone please share what caused his untimely death?
Ben and his family are in my thoughts and prayers.
