This is a terrible loss. This is the second fatality for this family as Ben's older brother was a former SEAL turned contractor who was killed in AFG a few years ago. RIP Ben!

Ben fought the good fight. He was a valuable asset, and shall be missed by all.
Please say a prayer for his Family. His brother was Killed in the Khost CIA bombing a year ago almost to the day.
Blue Skies Brother...............RIP
