Ben was easy to be around. A true-blue friend. Perhaps one of Ben’s strongest passions was for food. His illness took away some of the taste or desire to eat, but his list of foods to have when he felt well again was lengthy.
Perhaps the most notable trait that Ben displayed was his bravery. Throughout his illness, he demonstrated strength and perseverance. In spite of hardships, Ben remained gentlemanly and kind to others. He could be feeling awful and would still ask a nurse how s/he was doing.
Everyone who knows Ben is proud to count him as their friend. Ben will be missed by so many.
Visitation will be held at DeStefano Funeral Home on Saturday July 10th from 3:00pm – 4:00pm. A service to Celebrate Benjamin’s life will be held at 4:00pm. Due to restrictions with COVID 19 and limitations to the capacity of the chapel, the service will be livestreamed.
If desired, memorial donations can be made to Durham Attack Cares or The Super Sophia Project.
