Life story
Ben was born 9.21.03 . Growing up fast and on track until the age of 4 when he started having seizures. We soon found out that he had a rare genetic disease called Batten Disease. In the very short and few years that followed, Ben lost the ability to walk on his own and was tube fed.
Ben passed away at home with family and friends around him 7.23.10 just before his 7th birthday. We miss him soooo much.
