My niece, Danielle Spencer, was married just for a short time to Ben. Even though the marriage did not work I still thought Ben was a true gentleman. Ben was a very respectful person and I’m glad to have met him. I wish the entire family my condolences and know he is a wonderful angel looking over each and every one of you.

Benjamin was a very good friend that I had met while working at Walmart with him. He was the sweetest gentlemen I had ever met in my life,always smiling as well. I wish I had made more time for him, rather than just the time I was planning to make. I wish his family well and may his soul rest in peace. <3
such a beautiful soul. I hope that god realizes what an amazing person he has taken, and I hope he has great plans for him. We all miss him so much, he was great to everyone, a gentle kind hearted giant, always there when you needed a “pick me up” and some times literally. The life of every occasion. A spark igniting fire. There wasn’t a person in the world who could stay mad, angry, hurt, Or upset with ben around. He was always making people laugh. Making them smile. He was a blessing amongst us all.we miss you Benjamin <3
