Memorial services will be held at Hillcrest Memorial Park and Mortuary on Friday June 7, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. Benjamin (Ben) began his life on December 22, 1999 and was a miracle baby from the start with many medical challenges. Ben battled status seizures valiantly throughout his life. His struggles did not spoil Ben's love for life and he was always happy with a zest for experiencing life and the love and affections of his family and friends. Ben loved school, travel and spending time with his family. He was a character who charmed everyone who knew him. He taught those around him to love unconditionally and appreciate the simple things in life. Ben had a passion for school and could not contain his excitement for the school bus to arrive each day. He was blessed to have teachers who loved him dearly. After a prolonged seizure, the Lord decided that Ben had struggled enough and took him home. He passed away peacefully with his family by his side on June 1, 2013. Ben will be greatly missed by all who knew him. His life was a true gift beyond measure. He exemplified the true and pure love of Christ. Ben was preceded in death by his Grandfather, Norman Eccles and Grandparents, Charles and Ruth Lackey. Ben leaves behind his parents, Daniel and Jeanette Lackey; beloved black lab, Jedi; Grandmother, Bonnie Eccles; Aunt and Uncle, Allyson and JR Nielsen; Uncle, Dennis Lackey and many cousins.
