In Memory of Ben Bertauski

A son. A brother. Boyfriend. Skater.

Ben was funny. Entertaining.

He was creative and thoughtful. You could count on him in a pinch.

He was memorable. Never did he leave without bringing a smile.

His hugs were meaningful. His handshake solid.

He danced like a wild man when the spirit was right.

He was kind and generous. Loving and sweet. He cried easily.

Ben was a lot of things. He was not immune to struggle.

The funds raised in honor of Ben will be used to assist people in emotional and mental distress. They will help Leslie, his loving girlfriend, recover from his exit from this earthly plane. They will support his passion, the arts and skateboarding.

He was loved by many. Will be missed by all.
