It is with a heavy, broken heart that we inform you all, our #FightwithBenny supporters, that Benny gained his angel wings on Saturday, September 26th. As we navigate a new lie without our Benster, we are reminded of all he has taught us. For he FOUGHT so hard for so long until his last breath. ALL the while with an infectious SMILE on his face. We are thankful that he did not suffer and was surrounded by all his loved ones. We find peace that he is now in God's kingdom, free of pain and made whole again. For his one wish was just to have a "normal" life.

Benny will always be remembered as a sweet, soft-spoken, kind, animal-loving, selfless person; always putting everyone ahead of himself. Please continue to pray for the family and all those who loved Benny. He was an inspiration to all!

This fund has been set-up for the Rodriguez family as they work through this hard time, making arrangements and planning a memorial service for Benny. Funds raised will assist with funeral arrangements, memorial service and associated costs to honor Benny's final wished.

Benny, you are forever in our hearts. We love you!
