Praying over your family. Your family has always been a bright spot at Chugiak Elementary. I'm so sorry for your pain. Ben's cheerful and positive disposition is inspiring.

No words can express the sorrow we feel for your family. Our prayers continue to be with all of you during this difficult time. Ben was a person who loved life. his family and community!

May God wrap his arms around your family at this time and going forward. I worked with Ben at Chugiak Elementary and he was always giving with his time and smiles. You could count on him to stop and really listen to what you had to share. Likewise, he was so interesting and had a wide knowledge of children, nature, and people in general. I couldn't believe how involved he was with the families and our community events. Ben is a gem and I am glad to know him. Those memories will always be with me and everyone he touched.
