most beautiful smile and most beautiful soul. You were wise beyond your years and I know you are watching after us all now.. rest in paradise and know we love you!
I know I never knew you personally..But I watched your videos and not a day goes by that I don't think about you.. You made me laugh so many times and you were so helpful to me.. I was touched by your death and still am.. You have touched my heart! Thank you so much for helping me with advice :)
I can't believe that while watching his video "This is my story" today I didn't know that he died and I think I fell in LOVE with him a little. You were a great guy Ben even though I didn't know you but you will always be in my heart and I will always LOVE you<3
It was really achin My nerves the fact that he is talkin about what he wants to do in the future and he is all ready dead it just makes me cry like literally cry like WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is an "INSPIRATION" (notice I didn't say gone?), I have been HIV Pos for 20yrs last Dec. That Young man (not a child, kid or teenager) showed this 44yr old that we can keep going on. To except ones life and share it with others. He is touching so many and I thank you Ben for touching mine. I hope when I grow up I will remember just how special we all are. Thank you bless you and love Ian
are u afraid u might die again? i have never had health problems but after i saw ur story, i almost started crying and i hoped u had to never go thru that again. u r a very inspiring persong to me!!!!!!!!!! fly high ben <3
RIP Ben but i jsut wanted to add that i have been on youtube for 4 hours and started watching a video on caspian tigers and ened up here. Then i took an arrow to the knee...
This was really sad. I was diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy 2 1/2 years ago after I had a Stroke. This video was hard for to watch but uplifting at the same time :)
you sounded like an amazing person,im sad you didnt get to do the things you wanted to do and grow up but from the sounds of it you did everything you loved in life and made the most of it whilst you did my love goes out to your family and friends R.I.P Ben <3
I didn't know this guy but i think he is absolutely amazing. There is too much hate on this video..its not even funny. If his family see these comments how do you think they are going to feel? Pretty bad right? Just think about it....if it was your family member who had died and people was making all these bad comments about him/her how would you feel? Think about what you say before you say it. Its nothing to joke about..stop being disrespectful and grow up.
WOW! All this vitriol on the comments here! Why all this negativity? My God! (Must be the American economy). Anyway glad to see you arie doing okay. I saw some of your earlier videos and were so sad! Marked improvement! I am trying to get over to Asia myself! (Mainly Japan). Peace Profound, Love!
Australia is a lovely place I live in nsw act part it's amazing so is old wa sa nt Vic Melb tas Iv been right around it it's amazing it's breaks my heart that you couldn't come an surf the beaches like you wanted but we can't ride kangaroos over here lol sorry Ben
Ben im really sorry you are gone, I reallly believe you have done a lot of good stuff and a lot for us, your subscribers.I just want you to know from the bottom of my heart that admire you and you are an amazing person cause, everything you did made me realize how great you are .
I have seen the bright light once, and I will never forget that peaceful feeling. He was there beside me holding my hand, then God let go of my hand and I woke up. I'm glad I stayed behind but at that very moment or moments He was there with me, I would have liked to go with Him...Nice video
I cried... He is such an amazing person. Ik so glad your in heaven now, yet you were so important to everyone. I love you, rest in peace good job angel -3
Don't let those heartless mean people get you down. You were such an amazing person.
It was very sad seeing him talk about what he wants to do in future and all. He wouldnt have thought that he would die a few months after. At least he did what he loved doing and pursued it! He has the most genuine and pleasant smile ever. I just love him watching the videos. God bless you always and lots of love from Singapore xx.
You can tell that Ben was such a happy kid, well adjusted in life and living each day as a gift from God. Then from that heart of goodness and care, he sat down to do these videos, reaching out to a generation of weary young people who need good advice from a loving heart. And to think that all this time, he was struggling with heart disease and knowing that his days were limited. Thank you Ben for giving and loving and helping us to keep our chin up. Rest in God your Savior.
i luv going to lake powell! i use to go every summer till i moved to georgia in 2010! I'm so sorry that u died:( i know everyone misses u! and i hope u lived ur life well!
Isn't it amazing, that an 18 yr. old kid from Austin, TX who just loved to vlog and give advice to his peers has touched millions of lives? He's only been dead for one month, and yet millions are grateful for his testimony of living strong for others and trusting the rest to God. As was stated by a TV commentator, his life was so simple, yet was a miraculous life also.
all I want to say is what a great loss for all of us. He was a bright, beautiful young man. I don't know him but I feel a great sadness in my heart for his family and friends. He seemed like a teriffic person. RIP Ben
He is just adorable!! Isnt he? Just ignore all the silly comments by these emo kids. Haha. Its ok. I know Ben is looking down and smiling at the fact that he is just surrounded around LOVE. Filled and over flowing with love and joy. Hes in the most beautiful place ever. He wanted to go to Asia because it seemed like paradise..Now he is in paradise and doesnt understand what anger is or pain or anything negative. Hes just..LOVE. Smile and know he will always be with us and we will see him again.
Thank you Ben and Ally for sharing your story with the world. I believe that you have touched many people and allowed them to question if God is real. As a result, I believe that many people will get saved. Satan (through these despicable people who have left such hateful comments) would like to add to your hurt but I pray that you and your family would be comforted at this time. Ben is in the most wonderful place - as Paul said Phil 1:23 "..to depart and be with Christ is FAR better" Australia
RIP Ben. You've inspired so many, & we love you. Your in a better place now hun. -3 & I would be very surprised if this little jerk, ever would affect anyone's life if he had died. Ass hole.
Thank you Ben, God loves you and you know it. whatever everyone else is saying isn't true. Your family is blessed and you are changing many people's thoughts about Christ. Again, thank you.
Rest in peace, Ben. You can tell from your story video that you are where you want to be now. You've really impacted people worldwide with your story because you did come across as such a genuine, lovely boy. You were put on this earth for a reason and its so sad your life was taken away but you have made an impact. I mean, i dont even know you and i'm just so upset over your departure. Thank you for sharing your life with us, Ben. Your an inspiration. All the best to you and your family xxxxx
I am so inspired by Ben's video. He "got it". Those of you responding to the hate in this log need to check yourselves. It's kinda hard to tell the difference between the haters and the followers of Jesus. The kind of language you use is the exact opposite of what Ben would want to defend him. Defend with the word, not language of the lost. God bless.
I just read about your life. Thank you for having made it public! It can teach many things. You look really good ;) I'm gonna pray for you. I know you're happy where you are. Pray for us too please, we need it. Thanks for all, see you in Heaven guy! :)
I would've dated you :( Any of you who are like "well its just another story of a teen who has a condition and dies" It's not like that! He is a good boy who cheated death 3 times! And just because of all his problems he never gave up! How would you like your brother, sister, child, parent, aunt, uncle, any family member (important) die!!! This is a story of the good brave Ben Breedlove! We love you :)
what a good kid. Just ignore the rude comments folks. Those comments just show we live in the days of Saddam and Gomorrah and there are those among us that are past feeling. Don't be one of those and go forward and choose the better part...like Ben did.
RIP Ben, you're an angel in heaven now :) I'm happy knowing you're happy too. Your videos are so inspirational and make me think more about my life, about everything I've done and how I should live every day like it's the last one! Ben, thank you for everything :)
His in a great place now god bless you ben, and for the people who are being disrespectful you will regret this wasnt his choice to have this heart condition dont ever judge him people here are so cold blooded sereously his a good boy that doesnt do drugs or anything his a beautiful person so think before you write something rip ben
I wish I could remove all the nasty comments here. It is such a disgrace....the devil surely exists and doing his evil works. RIP Ben. You were a wonderful angel here on earth.
I wonder if he was downplaying his condition on here, or if he really knew that it could take his life like it did? I also wonder if he knew he was going to die soon when he posted those 2 videos in December? He seemed like a great kid. Maybe he will get to meet Sarah Burke in heaven. R.I.P.
Ben was beautiful, I wish he could just have a longer life, he shouldn't of went through everything that himself and his family went through, ben you changed my views on religion, you've changed me. R.I.P- Ben, sleep tight xo
Thank you Ben...you were an amazing young man who God called home. My mom was also called home a few days earlier. Your "story" gave me courage, so I want to thank you and your family, for posting this message. To those who are disrespecting Ben's memory, remember what Jesus said to the people who were going to stone the adultress, "let those without sin cast the first stone"...maybe Ben wasn't perfect...but WHO IS? Are you sure you want to cast a stone...or insult? God Knows our sins!
You taught us to accept things that we never want. You taught us how to be strong. You taught us to live with it. Ben, you are truly an inspirational person, that no one can't deny. Watching your video, was truly touching and sad. And when I saw you on the video, I was like, "Damn, he's cute." Thanks for showing that way to live a happy life that we should accept. And what the hell is for the dislikes? You people should go to hell. Had to put that. Say hi to God for me. R.I.P. <3
I can't believe some of the comments here. It just shows how ignorant people can be. This is beyond sad to me and I didn't even know this person. I don't cry much but when I saw this story it made me cry a lot. He went WAY too soon. RIP
"For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun." ---Ecclesiastes 9:5,6
he was a nice guy.. I hope he's able to read this in heaven and so many people miss him so much. We miss him but we shouldnt grieve.. because he's found a better place:)
Ben was a Christian from a strong Christian family. This is why the family has asked that donations in his memory be made to Africa New Life Ministries, the Ben Breedlove Memorial Fund. It is at: africanewlifedotorgslashbenbreedlove
even though I never knew you and I found out about you after you died, I want you to know that if you are reading this from heaven, I love you and miss you. The comments rude people said aren't fair to you and made me cry. You'll always be in my heart.
my dad has HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and it is a big deal. ben tries to play it off but u cant, it kills. ben R.I.P ur so strong to live with this.. and dad i hope u live atleast another 16 yrs with thi <3 u both
People are so drawn to this young man and to his story because it is apparent that he knew and loves God. Most young people hide their feelings about God and many are influenced by those who think believing in God is not cool. However, even teenagers think and worry about death. It's easy for them to put it out os their minds most of the time, but like all humans they know it will happen one day. Which is why I believe they are drawn to lived his life GOD'S WAY! and experienced PEACE!
Dear haters, Please, if you have any respect at all for his family and people who actually care about Ben. I am asking you to just leave him alone. He is at peace now with the lord Jesus Christ who will rightly judge all of us one day... And all I have to say is that I have only respect for Ben. He made god his number one priority in life... Maybe you could learn a thing or two from him.
@royal6574: Yes, Ben was a senior at Westlake High in Austin. It is heartbreaking that such a great light has gone to God, but in Wisdom 4, it says, "the just man, though he die early, shall be at rest.....He who pleased God was loved.....snatched away, lest wickedness pervert his mind or deceit beguile his soul." Those who write mean-spirited comments need to watch Ben's video and learn from his wisdom and kindness!
Even though I've never met this guy, he seemed to be a really nice kid and a great friend to anybody. Rest in peace Ben. If you see my mom up there with you, Ben, say hi to her for me. She's wearing a cream colored suit, has glasses and has curly brown hair. :)
Omg, when he was talking about being a newscaster and he said, "I don't know, maybe I will someday..." I was crying. He won't be able to.... :'(((((((((( RIP Ben
@Dormaninth14: No, it ain't just you. Six million other people have seen his video, "This is my story" and without having known him personally, have come to love, admire, and respect him, and yes, totally miss him. His sincerity, his kindness, and his care for others comes across so much he makes you feel like you are his friend.
@iavf1966 Yeah. I am one of those too. I didn't even know him, but I fell in love with him somehow and miss him. I don't why and how I have that feeling..it's just there. :(
John 3:19: "And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil." Ben is being attacked because the devil is really, really pissed off at all the good Ben has accomplished. The devil despises anyone who brings light into our darkness, so when you see anti-Ben comments, that is just MORE of a compliment to Ben. Those who love Ben, post, post, and repost, to talk about his light.
It's sad that every page is covered with so much filth. I'm all for the freedom of speech...but can we not just use a little common sense here? The first amendment was not intended to protect public obscenity or intentional societal disturbance. Ben Breedlove's video pages ought to be treated as private so that people who really have nothing to share can be filtered out, and the rest of us can celebrate his life, and his inspirational story, respectfully and peacefully. RIP Ben.
I just watched your "This is my story" video and you touched my heart Ben. You lived an amazing life here on earth and I am sure I speak for everyone that watched you videos that you are a true inspiration. Even though I never met you or had a conversation with you in person I felt like I have known you forever. God is lucky to have an amazing and truly incredible guy like you in heaven. I send my love you Ben and his family. Rest In Peace Ben<3
RIP BEN BREEDLOVE. YOU WERE A HERO AND A TRUE ANGEL. MY BEST FRIEND'S MOM JUST FOUND OUT SHE HAS LIVER CANCER AGAIN. THIS WILL BE HER 3RD TIME. I SHOWED HIM YOUR VIDEO AND IT HAS TOUCHED HIM AND MADE LIGHT OF THE SITUATION HE FACES ONCE AGAIN. THANK YOU
wow that would of been a perfect career for him its just soo sad to know that he died and he thinks ahead "i dont know maybe someday i could be a new ancor"
i just am in tears that could of been a great start of something new something fresh. I hope your having a great time in heaven just like you said the calm water reminds u of a peaceful place heaven" did Jesus send you that message that your sister pray for him to say to u as soon as you got to the peace? i hope she did
for those asking the reason your watching kid cudi and it suggest you to this video or other videos of ben is because on the song mr. rager kid cudi said "when will the fantasy end.when will the heaven begin" and this was a quote ben really liked and kid cudi knew about bens condition and knew ben was one of his biggest fans and when ben died kid cudi went to his funeral.kid cudi was also a big fan of ben
most beautiful smile and most beautiful soul. You were wise beyond your years and I know you are watching after us all now.. rest in paradise and know we love you!
RIP angel boy

Rest in peace, Ben. You can tell from your story video that you are where you want to be now. You've really impacted people worldwide with your story because you did come across as such a genuine, lovely boy. You were put on this earth for a reason and its so sad your life was taken away but you have made an impact. I mean, i dont even know you and i'm just so upset over your departure. Thank you for sharing your life with us, Ben. Your an inspiration. All the best to you and your family xxxxx

I am so inspired by Ben's video. He "got it". Those of you responding to the hate in this log need to check yourselves. It's kinda hard to tell the difference between the haters and the followers of Jesus. The kind of language you use is the exact opposite of what Ben would want to defend him. Defend with the word, not language of the lost. God bless.

I would've dated you :( Any of you who are like "well its just another story of a teen who has a condition and dies" It's not like that! He is a good boy who cheated death 3 times! And just because of all his problems he never gave up! How would you like your brother, sister, child, parent, aunt, uncle, any family member (important) die!!! This is a story of the good brave Ben Breedlove! We love you :)

I wonder if he was downplaying his condition on here, or if he really knew that it could take his life like it did? I also wonder if he knew he was going to die soon when he posted those 2 videos in December? He seemed like a great kid. Maybe he will get to meet Sarah Burke in heaven. R.I.P.

Thank you Ben...you were an amazing young man who God called home. My mom was also called home a few days earlier. Your "story" gave me courage, so I want to thank you and your family, for posting this message. To those who are disrespecting Ben's memory, remember what Jesus said to the people who were going to stone the adultress, "let those without sin cast the first stone"...maybe Ben wasn't perfect...but WHO IS? Are you sure you want to cast a stone...or insult? God Knows our sins!

You taught us to accept things that we never want. You taught us how to be strong. You taught us to live with it. Ben, you are truly an inspirational person, that no one can't deny. Watching your video, was truly touching and sad. And when I saw you on the video, I was like, "Damn, he's cute." Thanks for showing that way to live a happy life that we should accept. And what the hell is for the dislikes? You people should go to hell. Had to put that. Say hi to God for me. R.I.P. <3

People are so drawn to this young man and to his story because it is apparent that he knew and loves God. Most young people hide their feelings about God and many are influenced by those who think believing in God is not cool. However, even teenagers think and worry about death. It's easy for them to put it out os their minds most of the time, but like all humans they know it will happen one day. Which is why I believe they are drawn to lived his life GOD'S WAY! and experienced PEACE!

Dear haters, Please, if you have any respect at all for his family and people who actually care about Ben. I am asking you to just leave him alone. He is at peace now with the lord Jesus Christ who will rightly judge all of us one day... And all I have to say is that I have only respect for Ben. He made god his number one priority in life... Maybe you could learn a thing or two from him.

@royal6574: Yes, Ben was a senior at Westlake High in Austin. It is heartbreaking that such a great light has gone to God, but in Wisdom 4, it says, "the just man, though he die early, shall be at rest.....He who pleased God was loved.....snatched away, lest wickedness pervert his mind or deceit beguile his soul." Those who write mean-spirited comments need to watch Ben's video and learn from his wisdom and kindness!

His sincerity, his kindness, and his care for others comes across so much he makes you feel like you are his friend.

John 3:19: "And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil." Ben is being attacked because the devil is really, really pissed off at all the good Ben has accomplished. The devil despises anyone who brings light into our darkness, so when you see anti-Ben comments, that is just MORE of a compliment to Ben. Those who love Ben, post, post, and repost, to talk about his light.

It's sad that every page is covered with so much filth. I'm all for the freedom of speech...but can we not just use a little common sense here? The first amendment was not intended to protect public obscenity or intentional societal disturbance. Ben Breedlove's video pages ought to be treated as private so that people who really have nothing to share can be filtered out, and the rest of us can celebrate his life, and his inspirational story, respectfully and peacefully. RIP Ben.
