"My first boyfriend in first grade at McCormick. I was Not his girlfriend. He was the sweetest person in the world and I loved his entire family. I regret not getting to see more of him over the years after school days. So sorry tor your loss.

"It's so sad to have lost a good friend. We did so many things together growing up and I will always cherish his memory. The Benson family always felt like an extension of our family. Rest in peace brother.
