Support for Patrick Benson's Final Journey

I am reaching out to the community to try to help my partner’s family afford funeral/cremation/flight costs for Patrick Benson.

A brother. A son. & a friend to so many. 31 years young, and so much more life left unlived. In his 31 short years here, he made the most out of every single one of them. Bringing laughter, fun times and memories to so many.

On July 24, 2024, he was murdered in Kingman Arizona. His family is located here in Connecticut.

As most of you probably have lost a loved one or friend, you know that grieving is extremely tolling. Leaving you with a pit, a rot in your chest. That is already a lot to handle before the financial hit is scratching at the back of your mind.

He was so loved. Is so loved. & his family wants nothing more than to bring him home. We all want him home. So he can rest & be remembered the way he should be remembered.

I’m reaching out to my community asking for any help that could be provided, no amount too small. Any amount helps alleviate the financial stressor that is prolonging their time for healing.

We will be flying out to see him the next couple of weeks, and depending on costs, depends what we will be able to do. Whether it be cremation, or burial. We all just want him home. Where he belongs.

A little bit about Patrick,

He loved country music and loved mudding. He enjoyed spending his free time fixing cars and building them with his brother Travis.

One of his favourite places to be was the ocean. He loved his dogs, and always helped his friends and strangers in time of need. He had a HUGE heart despite being put into foster care and losing both of his biological parents in his early childhood. He was adopted.

& His mother, Brenda,

has such a sweet heart and I would like to help alleviate her and her family’s worries when it comes to the costs of this heart wrenching tragedy.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and get to know Pat unless you’ve already been blessed to know him.

Again, any amount will be noticed and appreciated beyond comprehension.
