At the time, Priscilla penned aFacebook postin honor of her late grandson saying, “The shock of losing Ben has been devastating. Trying to put all the pieces together of all the possible whys has penetrated my soul. Each day I wake up I pray it will get better. Then, I think of my daughter and the pain she is going through as she was a doting mother. Ben’s father, Danny [Keough], who is completely lost, as Ben was his only son.”
“Riley, so loving and so close to him; Harper and Finley, who absolutely adored Ben. Navarone, who struggles deeply with loss and death,” she said of Benjamin’s sisters and his uncle Navarone Garibaldi, Priscilla’s son with Marco Garibaldi. “Rest In Peace Ben, you were loved.”
