Benjamin Hawkins Obituary

It's been many years Ben. You are the kind of person the heart never forgets. You were taken to soon love. It's been 15 years since I saw you last, I still have cancer bear, and I will forever keep you in my heart.

Still missing you. Love, Aunt Lisa

Ben words can never express the love I have in my heart for you and will always have,you were a sensational person and loyal friend.I will never forget and will forever hold dear the memories

I remember the day you walked into home room in the 6th grade. Here it is so many years later and I still feel like you just left. I will never forget the last time we hung out and watched the first 3 harry potter's nonstop and and then went to the movies that night to watch the opening of the fourth harry potter movie at midnight. Im still out here on the road doing what you taught me to do. I wish you were still in the room next to me so I could beat on the wall and ask you if you wanted dinner. Rest easy hommie, I will never forget all the crazy,scary,awesome,times we shared. Love you brother. Peace. AP 4 LIFE!

Missing you dearly.

A gentle nature, A heart of gold
You touched the lives of young and old
But now it's time to rest sweet one
Your newest journey has just begun
God called you home, You're in his care
We know he has you safely there
And as we part, Please know it's true
Our lives are more because of you!

Laura and family,
I am truly sorry. My heart goes out to all you! Ben was truly one of a kind.

Ben was such a sweet boy, we will always remember him over the back fence in Columbia, playing with our son T.J. and being so kind to him. Laura, our hearts are breaking for you.

Hi. You never met me, but I'm good friends with Melissa. I felt heartbroken by hearing how she spoke of your sudden departure. You sounded like an innocent and loving young man, and I wish you luck on your immortal journey. We here miss you, and hope to see you again.

I am deeply saddened for you with the loss of Ben who was such a promising young man. I hope that God will console you, walk with you and give you the grace to go through this situation, He will see you through and you will see Ben again one day.

Ben, I love you man. I hope you riding waves with the big kahunas in the sky. I modeled my life after you with the same interests and our special commonality. I think about you everyday in my thoughts and in my actions. I cannot play video games without thinking that you are still around ready to beat me at whatever we were playing. You live forever in my thoughts.

We will miss you BEN so very much. I know you are at peace now with God. I will be there for your mother as she will be lost without you. She will go on though, knowing you are smiling down on her and one day awaiting her arms to embrace you once again in heaven as the love between you both was so special you will be reunited once again. I will never forget our trip out to Edisto Beach with Mom,you,Melissa and Brittany. We had fun! You were trying to catch some big waves and there just wasn't any good ones out there but you kept going back. So determined I so admired of you.I know your catching some big waves up there, so ENJOY son.. God Bless You BEN and I will look after Mom she is such a Dear friend and she will need all the love and comfort now more than ever. My prayers go out to YOU and Mom and your loved ones.
