In Loving Memory of Benjamin "Benny" Berestovoy
Tragic Marina Accident Claims the Life of a Beloved Father, Husband, and Friend

It is with profound sadness that we share the devastating news of Benjamin "Benny" Berestovoy's sudden passing on Friday in a tragic accident at Nautical Ventures Marina in Dania Beach, Florida. Benny lost his life in a boat explosion while doing what he loved - working as a skilled marine technician, preparing vessels for upcoming shows.

Benny was more than just a talented technician; he was a devoted father to Jonathan, Ivan, and Tamara, and a loving husband to Natalia. Originally from Paraguay, he built a beautiful life here in Florida, touching countless lives with his warmth, dedication, and extraordinary work ethic. His colleagues at the marina remember him as not just a coworker, but as a true friend whose expertise and kindness made every day brighter.

Those who knew Benny speak of his remarkable character - his integrity, his generosity, and his unwavering commitment to both his family and his work. He approached life with genuine kindness and a helping hand always extended to others. His sudden departure has left an immeasurable void in our hearts and our community.

In this time of unimaginable loss, we are reaching out to help support Benny's family with funeral and memorial expenses. As this tragedy was completely unexpected, we hope to ease the financial burden on Natalia and their children, allowing them to focus on healing and preserving the beautiful memories of their beloved husband and father.

Every contribution, regardless of size, will make a meaningful difference in helping this grieving family. Your support will directly assist with:
- Memorial and funeral arrangements
- Immediate family expenses
- Support for his children's needs
- Helping the family navigate this difficult transition

We are profoundly grateful for any support you can offer - whether through donations, sharing this campaign, or keeping Benny's family in your thoughts and prayers. In times of tragedy, it is the kindness of both friends and strangers that helps us find strength and hope.

Benny's legacy lives on through the countless lives he touched, the family he cherished, and the example he set for all who knew him. While we cannot ease the pain of his loss, we can come together to support those he loved most.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity during this heartbreaking time.

With deep gratitude,
The Berestovoy Family
