  • Ben Watkins, one of the contestants on MasterChef Junior Season 6, is best remembered for his positive attitude in the face of the tragedy in his life. The jovial and charming Watkins, while not a contender in the Top 18 of the season, was certainly well loved.
    After Ben was diagnosed with a very rare and very aggressive form of cancer, the entire cast of MasterChef Junior came together to record a very sweet video message to wish him well.
    Unfortunately, after a year-and-a-half of chemotherapy, Ben lost the battle. Here are the details of the heartbreaking death of MasterChef Junior star Ben Watkins.

    ...there really are times where I can't fathom how bad a lot you can get in life until I see something like this. To get an opportunity for Master Chef Junior, and in only 3 years he would watch his family kill each other and be hit with a disease that claimed his life shortly after.
    This is no rollercoaster, this is some kind of sick "Long Live the King" bit brought to life. May this talented boy rest in peace and cook up some amazing dishes with the good lord above.

    I went to school with Ben, and it’s just heartbreaking to think about how much he went through at such a young age. I remember when my mom told me about what happened to his parents, and that blew everyone’s mind that it had actually happened. Bens mom was super sweet and helped out with crafts and whatnot in our class. I sometimes wonder what he would be like if he was still around.

That’s clearly not how any god would function. 🤷🏻‍♂️

God bless his surviving family, because they know they lost a true warrior who wouldve been an artist in the food world. Just like his mother was an artist.
