It kills me to have to write this. My best friend, life partner and husband passed away this weekend. He was doing what he loved with people he treasured, and tragically he rode a bike that goes too fast and must have hit a divot in the ground and likely died on impact.

He was the best person. Was friends with everyone he met and always so loyal.

His family and I are devastated. This really is the worst thing.

He will be so greatly missed.

Ben, my sweet husband I will always love you.

We do not have a service date yet, the funeral will be in Santa Cruz.
