Benjamin Drew Foster

Benjamin Drew Foster, 15, passed away unexpectedly in an automobile accident on June 1, 2022. Ben was born in Syracuse, NY on June 23, 2006. He spent most of his life in Central Square, NY. He was a funny, kind and caring young man. He touched the hearts of everyone he met, always extending his unforgettable smile.

Ben enjoyed playing football and baseball. He would tell everyone this was his passion. He played on Bishop Grimes and Central Square teams. He was happiest playing for his travel baseball team: MAD Sports. Ben was the starting catcher and a team leader. All of his team activities and interactions with dedicated coaches shaped him into the well-rounded young man he was. Ben was an avid snowboarder. Labrador Mountain was his home in the winter months. He was asked to be an instructor this last season. His enthusiasm took him to Killington mountain. Ben also enjoyed summer sports as well. He loved being on his four-wheeler and jet ski.

He was an active member of the Faith Lutheran Church in Cicero.

We hope to continue to raise funds to honor Ben by establishing memorials, scholarships and random acts of kindness in his name. Our first memorial that we are currently working on is placing a flagpole at Legency Sports Complex (MAD Sports) in Ben's name.
