Park Ben Doing
What Park was like
Ben was a beautiful human being who lost his life to addiction. He began this battle when only about 15 years old. He never gave up this fight, but in the end he lost at age 33. His loss is deeply grieved. The world is less without him.
Fondest memories of Park
Ben loved to play with his little sisters. He taught his little sister how to snowboard, and he always wanted the family to go on vacations together...snowboarding, to a lake or ocean in the summer. I loved to watch him skateboard. He moved so gracefully and was so healthy and perfectly proportioned Everyone loved Ben, he had a big heart and a gentle soul. He suffered because he wanted so much to be better, but over time the struggle wore him down. I believe on one level he gave up.
How Park will be missed
His smile and his hug..."don't worry mom, I'll be ok"....
How Park will be remembered
In good health, in good spirits, loving his friends and family, gliding down a mountain or on a skateboard, doodling in a sketchbook, meditating, laughing with friends...
