Title: bigben280 rest in peace
Post by: bigben280 on November 05, 2008, 12:02:27 AM
This is Ben's sister. He last logged on to this site here from my computer and was still logged on. I just wanted to let anyone who may have been a friend know that my brother passed away this Sunday. He will truly be missed.

Sorry to hear that, Ben's sis. 

I'm sure you're hurting right now, but please consider getting yourself checked for sleep apnea.

This is Ben's sister. He last logged on to this site here from my computer and was still logged on. I just wanted to let anyone who may have been a friend know that my brother passed away this Sunday. He will truly be missed.

RIP...all around big dude... 270 pounds. 

A recent post where he attempted to clear the air with a fairly violent person named Derek Anthony who frequents the boards.  Some of the wording stands out here. 

Look after all these deaths and SUICIDES, I along with a ton of others have put Derik Anthony through the ringer, yes he does bring most of it upon itself, but the truth is if there wasnt  "Derik Anthony" it would be "VINCE" what his name, and if there wasnt a VInce, then there would be someone else....so on and so on, but just to CLEAR my "concience" or my mind in other words...I want to tell Derik Anthony that I am truly sorry for the names I called you--if you have diseases or whatever and maybe you cant fight your way out of a wet paper bag...that is beside the point and i dont care it was all for fun for me. Now what i say and what some other people say  are just jokes and fun and a little fun harassment and he receives and dishes it out the same, but i know there are people here who 100% hate D. A. and send him HATE AND DEATH THREATS to him,  and are serious and/or they want to belittle him to feel better about their selves and he probably hates them and threatens some of them the same, and means too, maybe not..I dont know and I dont care. SO, I am here saying to Derik Anthony I am sorry and it was just for fun.  I say this because of all the SUICIDES AND DEATHS in the BODYBUILDING is becoming an epidemic that i want "NOTHING" of it, I dont want to think that the last thing i said to someone as Derik Anthony or someone else made him or her reach their complete bottom or boiling point and kill themselves or if some else murders one of us or a well known bodybuilder or amatuer or professional, or just a getbig haggler who fights for fun,  "BEHIND" computer who most of the forum consists of. I refuse to take responsiblily for ones death on this board, so again Im sorry Derik Anthony and anybody else i offended it was all in fun, anyone else feels the same follow in after me.

Rest in peace Ben, didn't know what happenned to him since I didn't hear from him in a while.  I'll miss his slam on D.A. that he gave. 

And just to let you know, you may want to check yourself out for sleep apnea immediately.  I know he had some issues with that and most likely you've inherited the same thing

Ben was a buddy of mine, we used to hang out alot when he was at BSU. He was an all the way big dude....he was literally 280 at about 5'10. This sucks to hear.  Its completely shocking.
