Benjamin Storm, YOU. Always happy in the sun and water. And a laugh that made everyone happier. You gave love to anyone who needed it. You were wise like a thousand year old man, but silly as a 5 year old. You always said your favorite tarot card was the hermit, cause you could relate. You made the best jokes, and always broke the rules. You were my favorite person from the moment I met you. I wish we could’ve kept you forever Ben Ben. I hope you’re having all the delicious sushi in paradise💙words will never be enough

Like Elvis

Benjamin had long drawn attention due to the fact that many claimed he looked startlingly similar to his grandfather Elvis.

The 27-year-old also signed a record deal worth $5 million with Universal back in 2009, though he chose not to pursue a music career.

Rest in peace, Benjamin. It’s never easy to lose such a young soul so soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
