He is survived by his adoring mother, Mary; devoted sisters, Rachel and Courtney (Chris); beloved niece and nephews, Reagan, Max, and Denis; loyal dog, James; and many loving family members and friends.

Ben genuinely loved the outdoors. He enjoyed the beach, boating, skiing, and walking his beloved dog, James. Ben was a charismatic storyteller and could light up an entire room.
