Popular Post Bobby Hume 13,499 Posted October 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2023 I can only just imagine the pain and anguish his family and friends must be going through at this time .... including all on RM ... but I do feel a wee bit shell-shocked at Ben's sudden demise and I never met him other than on here. Sincerest condolences to all who new him on a personal level is so not enough .... as words just don't cover the pain of loss. At least Ben is at peace now and for that we must be truly thankful. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 Essandoh, cascadeshrimp, gmcf and 5 others 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post .Williamson. 83,937 Posted October 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2023 Probably been suggested already but maybe consider renaming the mental health section on here after him? He was clearly very proud of the help that section was able to provide people no matter how small. It’s a shame he wasn’t able to get the help he needed in the end but it would be a nice gesture as I’ve no doubt he would still be a huge supporter of people speaking up and being able to talk TEFTONG, GA1972, Negri's lovechild and 39 others 42 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jintybear 8,660 Posted October 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2023 Absolutely gutted to hear this. He was always such a great poster and came across as a lovely guy. Gone far too soon. Absolutely 💔. I don’t know if you know his family @psb07158 but maybe pass on our condolences. He touched so many people’s hearts without ever having met them.

SuperTav 970 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Horrible news, my thoughts go to his friends and family. It's becoming far too common (as most folk on here will know) and he helped a lot of people on here when they were in need of a bit of direction. Seemed a bonafide Good Guy. All the best Ben, RIP.

Popular Post Inigo 32,696 Posted October 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2023 Aw, man. That's just devastating. Absolutely devastating. So, so sad to hear of this. I knew him only from on here, but always thought of him as one of the most decent posters on the forum. I'll miss fondly being teased as a Rangers da by oor Benjamin. Lighthearted, laid back, genuinely nice fella. Poor guy. Really hope his family can come to terms with this. As much as he's going to leave a huge void in this forum, he'll be such an unimaginable loss to them. RIP fellow Bear. Farewell, Ben.

Popular Post FlippinEck 3,750 Posted October 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2023 Horrible, horrible news. I can only hope he is at peace now. The mind matter's section was there for me and I know it still is should I ever require it and I hope that others will continue to use that section of the forum, its vitally important that we all keep talking.

Popular Post SkylineBlue 24,438 Posted October 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2023 I didn't know the guy other than from on here, but he seemed like a genuinely good fella. I've periodically posted in the mental health section as an outlet for my own struggles and I'm pretty sure he responded, even just with a like, almost every time. Despite not knowing him I genuinely feel incredibly saddened by this news. I cant dwell on it too long for the sake of my own mind; but rest easy Ben and I hope you've found the peace you deserve. For anyone struggling, particularly men - talk to someone. It doesn't make you less of a man or a coward. It gives you strength, it gives you hope, and it gives you a light in the distance to swim for when you feel like you're adrift in an endless, black sea. jintybear, Bluekev, Sparkle and 11 others 14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
