Benjamin TOWERS

TOWERS Benjamin 1978 - 2006 Benjamin (Ben) passed away on the morning of March 17, 2006 at Puerto Vallarta, Mexico at the age of 27 after a seven-month struggle with cancer. Ben left us living his dying wish to see Mexico, sit on the beach and watch the sunset surrounded by his close and loving family. Ben is survived by his mother and best friend Lynne, his father and friend David and his brother and friend Luke, and his future sister-in-law and friend Karma Ryan, all in Calgary, Canada, and by numerous uncles, aunts and cousins in England, Australia and Thailand. Ben had embarked on what was to be a very successful career as a chef and earned the respect of many of his peers before he was taken from us at too early an age. Ben was a keen snowboarder, skateboarder, wake boarder and mountain biker. Ben's direct approach, even temper, patient attitude, caring nature and mischievous sense of humour will be sadly missed. An informal celebration of Ben's life will take place at The Inn on Crowchild, 5353 Crowchild Trail N.W., Calgary on Sunday, April 9, 2006 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Friends are invited to join us for afternoon tea and bring memories of Ben to share with those present. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Alberta Cancer Foundation and help to eradicate this growing killer of Canadians both young and old.
