I taught Ben when he was a student at Father Ryan. I am so sorry to read this and hear of your loss. Ben was always one of my favorites and I am saddened to hear of this news. He and the family are in my prayers

To Ben's family and friends, so sorry to hear of your loss. May you find comfort in knowing that the bible compares death to a deep sleep (John 11:11) and promises that Jesus Christ will awaken all those in God’s memory that have fallen asleep in death (John 5:28, 29). Yes, we have the wonderful hope of seeing our loved ones again. At that time Revelation 21:3, 4 says "death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore." Until then, continue to look to Jehovah God and his word the Bible for comfort in your times of grief and sorrow (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4). For more comforting thoughts from the scriptures please visit jw.org and search “When a loved one dies.”

I was hired at ESa in 2017, and had the pleasure of working with Ben for a little over a year. While Ben and I were not very close, we did share a passion for stand-up comedy. I overheard him one day talking about a comic named John Mulaney, and I couldn't wait to jump into the conversation to share some of my favorite jokes of his. After that conversation, anytime Ben and I would see each other in the hallway, we would swap jokes from our newest favorite stand up comic at that time. He would routinely send me and a few others links to Youtube videos of his favorite comedians-- I loved getting to discover new and fresh comedy through Ben! He was certainly my work-comedian-buddy. He loved to laugh at every line, and we would routinely remember lines of jokes verbatim and say them to each other in the hall.
I'm so grateful to have known a person like Ben. I am incredibly sorry for the Hardesty's loss.
I'd like to share one of the many stand-up comedy videos Ben shared with me. My apologies that all of them had bad language, but this one below is clean in it's subject matter and one of my favorites. Please enjoy. From Ben's email when he sent it so me, he said "I don’t like nickelback but when he gets to the part talking about his flames on the shirt and how he’s hated like nickelback I lost it..."
I knew exactly how he felt because I lost it there too!
