If you would like to contribute to Ben Marrs' Memorial Fund.

On Monday, May 6th, 2024, Ben Mars was involved in a fatal motorcycle accident with a garbage truck. His family and friends are asking for any help possible for funeral arrangements to assist them during this devasting time.

Ben’s spirit is just as powerful as he was, and he will continue to live on through the knowledge he has instilled. He touched many lives in his 51 years, and his legacy will never be forgotten. If you are able to simply share this fundraiser or even donate $5, it will greatly be appreciated and help tremendously.

A little bit about our Kru

After serving as a police officer in Canada, Ben formed a fascination with the honor and traditions of Muay Thai. He soon became determined to share these teachings when he moved to Florida, by starting KOH Muay Thai gym, where adults and children could learn these morals and allow them to feel the same excitement he did with the practice. Ben always remembered a face or name and welcomed you to the gym no matter your experience level. He’d help your kids wrap their hands for class, joke around with you, and push you to be your greatest, all while most likely blasting some reggae music throughout the day.

To know Ben it was immediately clear he was a very strong leader, mentor, and loyal friend. Although it came with a fuse as thin as a strand of hair, he commanded a room with passion and determination to help you achieve your goals, whether it be in the gym or in your personal life. His straightforward personality allowed him to eliminate beating around the bush, and instill as much wisdom as possible within his friends and trainees. He is going to be missed dearly.

When we have the official information about the service dates we will update you guys on here and on social media.

Thank you again for all the support everyone has already shown, you have no idea how much that means to those that were closest to him.
