Robert Throckmorton wrote a sympathy message

“I knew Ben as a student at Eastern Washington University and knew him as a curious, scholarly, intense individual with a "warped" sense of humor. The sparkle in his eye was a constant and only became brighter when he was engaged in good exchange. An absolute delight in the classroom and a tragic loss that has left us all stunned and saddened. Dr. R.B. Throckmorton, Sociology.”

“Not only a respected member of the community who I saw in action last month while on jury duty, but a fellow biker. A very sad event for Asotin County and the L-C Valley. Prayers for his grieving family.”
