Hi, My name is Lee, I am Ben Jones's uncle. My wife Lorraine and I brought Ben to Dubai during our time in Dubai, when he was in his mid-20s. Along with his Mum Pauline & Dad, Trevor we all nurtured and cared for him, helping him to become established as a young, talented and dynamic young man.

Ben grew and found success, friendship, love and fatherhood in Dubai - we saw him grow from a boy to a man - although we often saw the young boy within.

As his uncle and aunt, we were delighted that he had made a life for himself and was successful in a very competitive country.

Ben was a loving son, doting father and husband. Our family has lost a vital part of its core. We know that Ben will be missed and, like us and the rest of our family, his friends will be shocked, devastated and saddened by his untimely departure. He leaves behind two beautiful daughters, Ruby Tiger & Felicity (Floss) and his grieving wife, Jade.

I was asked to create this GoFundMe account as his friends and colleagues want to help in anyway they can. So, I thank everyone for any contributions and can assure you that it will help to give Ben a respectful return to his birthplace in London. It will also go a long way to helping with the costs of Ben's funeral and any remaining funds with be given to his two beautiful daughters, Ruby Tiger & Floss.

Details of the service will be posted soon.
