“He made a profound impact on everyone who knew him through his wisdom, humor, and compassion,” his family said. “Ben lived each day to the fullest, inspiring those around him to seek meaning, connection, and purpose in their own lives.”
Likewise, his girlfriend, Reem, shared a tribute to him as well.
“The past few days have been the hardest few days of my entire life and I’ve never dealt with this before,” she said. “Ben was the kindest, most caring, most generous person I have ever met in my entire life. He genuinely loved every single person that he met and he was so positive all the time.”
“No one really knows and it seemed to have been extremely sudden,” Reem said. “There were really no signs of this happening — we were supposed to get dinner that night, and he seemed so normal.”
According to Reem, she had just spoken to him a few hours prior to his death.
“He was just smiling and being so funny,” she added. “I feel so lucky to have been loved by him, but I’m also so jealous of the people who didn’t know him well because it’s just so easy to just move on.”
