Ben, You were my niece's, Jennifer Johnson, inspiration for her flashcard video..... We lost her a week before Christmas 2012 from Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy. Like you, she was taken from us too soon. I know you have found each other where ever there is after here...Keep her safe until we see her again.
Wow you had such a beautiful smile. U made me love you and didn't know u. But that's ok we'll get a chance to know each in heaven. Love you sweet angel guy.
I can see why Ben picked this background song as his song. If you didnt know the background songs name is Mad World by Gary Jules and theres a line in the song that says "The dreams in which in dying are the best i ever had" and thats true for Ben because all he wanted was to be at peace and when he passed out he was truly at peace and now he is forever at peace :) and im happy for him because everybody deserves to have peace.
I want to thank you, Ben. You have helped me truly realize how big of a blessing our lives are, and that we must cherish every moment of it. You have certainly shared your story with the world, and I'm sure you've touched every single person who has watched this video. Rest in Peace, you are an amazing inspiration!
This video was made a week before he passed away, he seemed such a lovely boy, his story was so inspiring and this video always bring tears to my eyes, Heaven gained a Beautiful soul!, Rest in Peace Ben♥
Rest in Peace Ben, over the past year i can't stop thinking about you! My prayers go out to Ben's family and friends on this day which is now bittersweet.
Ben, you've touched my heart forever. I feel so sad but I know I shouldn't be because you are in a happier place now. You are a beautiful soul and your cheerfulness and strength is a true inspiration, you are a hero. I will appreciate life and be a better person in your honor. Anyone who knew you is blessed to have had you in your life. Because of your video, I have renewed faith that there is an afterlife and God. Keep smiling in heaven, we love you Ben =)
You were so tough all those years, and you still had that beautiful smile on your face! This made me realize my problems arent as bad as others and I shouldnt take life for granted, rest in peace, Ben
Still can't believe this actually happened to him. Even though I've never met him before, you could tell from all of the videos he did that he was such a sweet, caring and very inspiring guy (+ he had the cutest smile!)
So thankful to Kieran Miles for inspiring him to do this otherwise the world wouldn't know his story. This video is so inspirational and made me cry. R.I.P Ben Breedlove
i just saw this video, its heartbreaking that your gone. rest in peace you are such a wonderful young man. i will be thinking about you and your family. xx
Rip beautiful boy! Ur truely amazing and still inspire the world daily with this inspirational video.. thank you , and may you RIP.. Hopefully uve found your brightlight again...
You lost your fear of death, and now you are in a better place where you don't have to worry any more. There is nothing you can do there but smile. I hope that your story can continue to inspire us all. And I hope you are still smiling. Forever -3
I just wanted to wish Ben a "Happy Birthday" today, August 8, 2012. Ben would have been 19. We miss ya, Ben. You message touched so many lives. Thank you for taking the time to let us get to know you! Hope you are teaching God all about You Tube! Happy Birthday, Ben!
As I watched this, I didn't cry (I don't cry easily...) but, I felt comforted. Also knowing he died on Christmas like Jesus makes know that there was a purpose. There is a purpose for everything. Rest in Peace Ben. Everyone on TH-cam wishes you aren't dead. Everyone on the world wishes you aren't dead. If you are watching me type this right now, I want you to know, it's going to be ok
I've watched this atleast 5 times and it still gets me everytime. He's so sweet and such an inspiration. I don't know why, but it hurts to even get on Youtbue with out being sad and thinking about Ben. I feel so close to him, in a way I can't even describe. It's terrible to even think Ben isn't here, after watching all his videos, watching him be so lively. Rest in Peace, Ben. May God hold you forever, and keep you safe. :) (I'm honestly kind of REALLLLLYYY excited to meet Ben in heaven one day)
I hope all of you understand what I'm saying when I say what I'm going to say.. He seems like he was a beautiful person, with an amazing heart, even with his condition trying to stop that. Rest In never-ending Peace Ben
I .....love you! r.i.p ...your story reminds me of that one japanese movie called '' I give my first love to you.'' it's amazing....I wish you could've watched it.
Everytime i watch this video I cry, I watched both parts but I didn't realise he died until I looked at the comments and then I burst into tears. Heaven has gained an angel, he has such a beautiful smile and watching this video always makes me feel at peace, R.I.P Ben
Sometimes i think my health issues are worse then anybody else but then i watch videos like this and realize how lucky i am. My heart goes out to you and your family Ben!!!
His birthday this year would have been August 8th. He might have passed away but he is now in a much better place and he has touched and inspired hearts all over the world. He had a higher purpose in life.
he looks so good, I always want I boyfriend that looks like him, but I think I never would like him to be my boyfriend because I would be to sad to handle with his death
I honestly don't know what to say... I have empathy for him though. I know a few people with Heart Conditions as well. Perhaps 1 TOO many...Most of them I met when I was in the United States ARMY... Goodbye Ben....: (
watching this video, i cried so much. he seems like such a sweet, kind, loving person. his smile makes me smile. to think that he uploaded this video just 1 week before.. you know, its heartbreaking. but his smile has made my day a whole lot brighter. thank you for that
I cried the whole way through this...RIP Ben, I may not have known you but seeing you smile in this video talking about what you are gives me so much hope in the world, you're so beautiful and I hope heaven is all that you dreamed of and more xoxox
i cried through this video, its so sad, but i know he has gone to a place with no pain, and all happyness(: and even if i didnt know him, he is such and inspiring person to everyone. i love him, R.I.P.
I pray every night before I fall aspleep and more often than not, I find myself praying for you Ben and your family. I know your not physically alive but I know your soul lives on and I pray that your at peace. You inspired me to never take life for granted, to say I love you to the ones you love every chance I get and to give my life to Christ. For this time on earth is temporary and you never know whe God will call you home! Thank you I hope to see you one day in heaven!
I was thinking of this guy the other day. I never even met him, but I still miss him. My love and heart goes to his family and friends. I hope to see him in paradise.
Even after all this he still smiles. There are people who live a fine life with no problems but still cant seem to be thankfull . R.I.P ben we were all blessed to have you
this video actually brought tears to my eyes, its the first time of me watching it. im so sorry that he had to go through everything that he went through. then when i found out he passed away I broke down in tears and I didnt even know him and it was my first time watching this. he seemed like such a nice boy. R.I.P. Ben thank you for fighting and staying as strong for as long as you did. you touched so many peoples life. you will never be forgotten
i cryed all the way through this and when he showed the scar i cryed even harder no one deserves this;'( he was a gorgeous boy with a gorgeous smile he was just prfect it's true that god taked the good one's rest in peace ben always missed and never forgotten by everyone
Through out the whole video, I had tears streaming down my face. It's not everyday you see someone as strong and worthy as you. Keeping a smile on your face after everything you've been through... It's incredible. I'm not exactly holy, but you make me believe that there's something waiting for me on the other side. You are obviously too good to stay on earth and swept away to a better place. I love you, I admire you, I pray for you. Sleep tight Ben, and keep that smile shining bright in the d
You're so beautiful Ben Breedlove, you give me the courage to keep living every hard day of my life, and you help me push away the pain..I wish you were still on this earth..the world needs more good people like you. RIP-3
you truley are the bravest most couragous person i know of! you have touched my life and the life if so many others! rest in peace ben, god bless you and your family!
We all regret about something when nothing can be done about it. Too bad for this dude - he seems a really nice boy and probably a friend one can rely on. I also regret I had never had a chance to get to know him. God bless his soul and I wish to his parents to be strong in sake of his memory. R.I.P. Ben!
Ben, thanks for sharing your story with the world. I too have been to that peaceful place when I was 23, saw that bright light and came back. Like you, I will never forget that day. I am 28 now but each and everyday when I wake up, I smile that somehow I am granted another day to make a difference in this world. I know that you are at peace Ben and I hope to see you on the other side when my day comes.
Dearest Ben, you are a true hero. RIP. You have inspired me and made me treasure my life so much more. I know that you are smiling down from heaven and keeping a watchful eye on those who love you, you were a truly beautiful person and i wish I had known you. --Lexi
This is such a sad, sad story, but it seems to make me feel so happy everytime I watch it. Inspiration to many Ben, may your soul rest in piece, you brave, brave young man.
Rest in paradise -3 this actually has me really upset but so inspired to live life to the fullest. Some of us have no idea how much we take for granted, and how many people say they wish to die when there is people fighting to live. So many new realizations, I just want to thank him for all the messages he's showed me by sharing his story. Thank you and I hope you're still smiling Ben -3
This video is so touching and sad i was in tears he was a handsome young man with a heart of gold he is a inspiration to alot of people around the world, R.I.P. BEN You are a Angel
I just wanted to say, that you gave me a faith that I lost so long ago. You are one of a kind, your words are beautiful, as are you. Yes, Ben, you made me believe in Angles ones again, I love you for that. I am full of grief that you have passed on, but I know you are happy with where you are. Say hi to my old mom, and my dad for me, and all my other family members. Thank you for giving me again. Rest in Peace, see you someday. Thank you, so much.
He died a week later after posting this video. It obviously meant he was supposed to tell the world his story :(
