I am so sorry to hear about your son Bens passing so unexpectantly. It is a difficult when you lose a child and not know why God takes your child at a young age. You have the memories that sustain you and your faith that gets you through the times ahead. I totally understand what you are going through as my son Ben died last year. No time to say I love you to them or say goodbye. Sending prayers to you and your family.

Our hearts pour out to Mary, Steve, Brian, Kyle, and Corey. I have very fond memories of Ben growing up- Pioneer campouts, MTC softball, cabining up north, appreciating Dokken, and many others. Ben had a very infectious smile and always had a reason to laugh. We will miss you, but we will see you again! Love and prayers for the Deyo family.
From Laith Gilbertson & family

My deepest sympathies to the the family and the many friends I know that Ben had. I have known him since grade school and even though I lost touch in the years since he's never lost a place in my heart as a friend. I will always remember him as a kind soul who had a smile on him. I'll look for that in Paradise when we feast together.

It is with great sadness that I read in the paper this morning of your sons passing. I was shocked to say the least. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you. Your beautiful Ben has found his peace. May you find comfort with God at your side. Love Alice
From Alice & Harvey Miller

I'm so sorry for your loss. Ben was a good friend for many years and I regret not keeping in touch with him. I have a lot of wonderful memories playing card games and board games with Ben, Missy, Brian, Ryan, Teresa, and Melissa at their house in the 90's. Our snack of choice was original Doritos, and we would fight over the extra cheesy ones. I hope you find comfort knowing that he is in a better place and we will all see him again.
