Benjamin was not only a good friend. he was also a great boyfriend. He was a great person to talk to. he would always listen and try to help people out with their problems. he was very smart and he was the only one that we could tape to the wall at school and he was the only one out of our class to volunteer to do anything. he was a wonderful person to be around. he was always a happy and joyful person. I have been friends with him for about 4 years and that was the best 4 years ever. I just want to tell the family that i am sorry to hear about their lose. They are in my prayers. Love, Jamie L. Yates

Hi there little bro. I know we didn't get spend a lot of time together, but I still remember the times we did have when we were younger, I remember, like when we would argue over who gets the top bunk. I know we weren't allowed to have contact with you, but that day when we (me and your cousin Lisa) pulled up in that yellow truck and I saw you standing there, that is a time I will never forget. I was so glad to know that you knew that you had another family out there. I just want you to know that everyone loved and still loves you. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't think about you. You always were, and always will be my little bro! And there is nothing that can change that!!! So, until we meet in heaven, I will always remember you! We all love and miss you Little Ben!!! With Lots of Love, Your Brother, Adam
