Ben Ling (Passed away 1 Jun 2022)

Mr dear Ben, this was such shock for a father to find out so late of the loss of his son. You were, and always are, in my thoughts and loved very much. My wish is that we could have had more time together. Bless you Ben, always. Love Dad & Maureen xxxx

It's been a year since you left us Ben. At times it feels like a lifetime...others it's like it was only yesterday. You are thought of and spoken about every single day my darling boy. Always in my heart...will never stop loving you. Mum xxxx

Ben is fondly remembered by us and will continue to be so.

Ben was a wonderful friend and housemate to me and Emily at university. He was always so caring and thoughtful. We had hours of fun playing board and card games. We got up to all sorts of mischief, I came back one day to my room being completely rearranged. He was also fantastic to live with as he had a DVD collection to rival blockbuster!

I will always think of you when playing risk and making pancakes.

I'm so sorry to his family, he really was a wonderful man.

I met Ben in the kitchen on my first day in halls at uni. I was really shy but Ben was so lovely he made me feel at ease. We lived together for three fantastic years along with Jenny (the trio). Ben was always helpful, thoughtful and up for mischief. I am so sorry we didn't get our reunion but hope you are at peace with a glass of Jack Daniels and DJ Tiesto blaring out the radio xxx

If I had to describe Ben I will say he is one of the most caring and loving person I've meet.
He was always up for a good laugh and jokes, but also he was always available to listen to your problems and help you with them.
We were never coworkers in CC, we were a family driving by him and everyone was feeling welcome.
I will never forget him driving to Salisbury in my last day at work just to wish me all the best and to thank me for my hard work, who does that? Ben, Ben did things like that.
He will be terribly missed x

Ben, the only person I know who was always early to work like me. He made me laugh, called me all the names under the sun and still cared and treated all of us like the family we are. We spent early mornings talking politics 🙄 news and the future. Watching the Red Bull flow and as if by magic Haribou would appear when you least expect it. I have so many thankful moments with Ben, not my boss but, I think everyone's friend. A friend that left a legacy to everything that joins us. He's not gone as long as you remember him and smile 😊

My dear friend Ben, though we had not manged to see each other in a long while you were always in my thoughts. We were so privileged to attend your wonderful wedding to Liam and meet all your wonderful family.
Sleep in eternal peace xxxx

Sleep peacefully you beautiful man. Much love to Liam and Carol xx

Ben was so much to so many people , when I met Ben it was at a time in my life where I didn’t know what I was going to do , and had no confidence in myself.

Ben believed in me , took me in gave me a job that I am still in to this day , he helped me believe in myself again.

I will always be grateful for what he did for me and I will miss seeing his smiling face so so much

Thank you for everything , as I always have said the best boss I ever had and will ever have.

It's hard to put into words how much of an impact Ben made to his friends and also to his family but also to his fellow coworkers over his time with us all but I would just like to say that Ben was a great man, but also a fantastic leader and a true gentleman. He always made time for the ones he loved and for the colleges that needed him in there time of need, Ben helped me personally and always took his time out to ask how I was and how things wore at home he didn't have too but he always decided too. He's going to be misses by more then he realissles and I will always carry fond memories of him. Ben we will miss you and we all love you x

Ben was an amazing man, a wonderful person and a righteous boss. He will be missed. I will keep his teachings to honour his memory.

We had the best send off for you Ben aka my bling ❤️ I hope we done you proud. I wish you could see how much we all loved you. Forever in my heart ❤️ forever my brother. Until we meet again

An outstanding young man with a big heart. Loved by everyone who was fortunate to have met and known you. Truly one of the great ones. Your presence will be sorely missed. RIP Ben

RIP dear friend to so many. You are sadly missed.

Remembering Ben’s sunny, gentle disposition & as one of the most able mathematicians I ever taught. Thinking of your family, especially your Mum. 💙
