Condolences

What a wonderful picture of a quiet, gentle man. A picture speaks a thousand words and this pic does. Ben was a kind and generous spirit who was loving and caring. He will be sorely missed for his humble, and thoughtful ways. He loved to fish and be out on the Georgian Bay, spending time with friends and family. Maple sap running was a big occasion that many benefited from sharing his bounty. Ben was always concerned with the well being of others in our community. We are going to miss you so very much but would never call you back 🧡

Dear Evelyn and Brandon:

May the Lord strengthen and encourage you at this momentous time in your lives!
Love in Christ,
Murray and Martha Pratt

My deepest condolences. I think of Psalm 147:3 'He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds.' May God's love surround you. Holly

Evelyn and Brandon you have my deepest sympathy.
It was an honour and privilege meeting and getting to know Ben a genuinely good person easy to see how much he cared for both of you.
Ben Yocum you will be missed but you are free from life's struggles Rest in Peace

Evelyn and Brandon, I offer my prayers and thoughts for you both. May we all find comfort knowing Ben's journey is continuing with Jesus as his guide and companion.

So sorry to read of Ben's passing He is now reunited with his parents and the Saviour that they all serve. I remember Ben as a young boy.
