You have friends, you make your community large, you live and love, and you will know loss....
It has touched us before...
These two were so young and innocent.
May a loving God surround the Moms and Dads in his loving embrace, as well as their friends.

gosh, i did not know either of them very well, but what beautiful smiles....
my thoughts are with their families, as well as friends at the red.
if there is anything at all i can do for anyone, please let me know....

climbers never leave us, they just move on to the next pitch.

and those photos brought my tears....

always a friendly smile, a soothing voice and a terrific belayer. i wish you many great climbs, wherever you are ben. you and laura.

I keep trying to come up with something to say, but everyone has already said so many kind words. Everything I come up with doesn't feel like enough to say or fill the void that I feel. Bottom line is: they will both be remembered and missed dearly.

I don't spend any time on this site but I wanted to find out if this was the Ben I knew. Sadly it is. Ben and I shared a parking lot for about a month this fall. I used to wake up and play with Callie, his dog, every day. Hard to see that smile and know that when I get back to Miguel's in a few days that he will not be there. Ben and Laura, have a great time wherever you are. You will be missed.

Ben was always so psyched, and living the dream at a place everybody calls home. We will miss u dearly

Awesome Man. Great energy.

Peace & Happiness at the end of the trail Ben & Laura.
