Story
Due to the sheer number of Ben’s family, friends, local community and many others that have requested details of where they can donate or help in regards to the funeral /celebration of Ben’s life, we have decided to create this funding avenue.
We have received an overwhelming amount of heartfelt messages of support that have been so gratefully and sincerely received. This has given the family the comfort they need at this very sad time. Thank you.
“Ben was a kind and loving son, brother, uncle and friend who would do anything for anyone. He was sport mad, fun loving and an Arsenal fanatic and has left a huge hole in our lives; our family will never be the same again”.
Ben had a zest for life, an ever present smile and a MASSIVE heart. He was also the master of cadging fags, drinks and the odd 20 quid! We have no doubt that wherever he is, this hasn’t changed!
In the words of his favourite band…..
“Back beat, the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now”
We love you Ben. xx

7 years agoTime to play catch up and thank you once more for the continuing kindness, both in kind words and generosity. It's difficult to thank you all personally as so far the funds raised on this page alone is from 336 donations received. In addition, further cash donations now totaling £314 have been received and will be added to the total fundraiser. On behalf of the family thank you once again. You're awesome. Love you Ben x
