Not you.

You were my guy. My brother. My ace. When I didn’t have a place, you opened your home. You gave me a bed when I had nowhere to go and asked nothing in return. Long after I felt I overstayed my welcome, you’d hug me as I headed out and only ask when I’d be back.

You lit up the world with your presence, your talent, your dancing, your smile, and your jokes. You were a force behind the turntables. A beast in the booth. 

But beyond the exuberance of your larger-than-life DJ persona, there was you. You were a real one. A sensitive soul with a huge heart and brilliant mind. Insanely creative and devastatingly funny. One of a kind.

We came together when we needed each other. You were broken hearted and so was I. I watched you grieve, struggle, and heal. I saw how giddy you were when you reunited with Sam and was ecstatic when you told me you were going to be a dad. 

It made my days seeing videos of you and Felix dancing, beat juggling, and scratching.

Knowing where you were and seeing you in that place made me so happy.

I knew you were having health issues, but I had no idea it was so bad. You shrugged it off when I asked and told me it was nothing. My heart breaks knowing that you suffered in silence surrounded by a city that loved you. 

I keep thinking of Sam, Felix, and your mom.

It’s hard to imagine a world without you.

You gave me so much. Your generosity allowed me to pursue my dream. Your encouragement lifted me up. You made me better. You made us all better. 

I keep listening to your tape. Staring into space. 

Heartbroken but grateful.

Thank you for being there for me. For looking out. For listening. For the laughs. For sharing a piece of your life with me.

Thank you for everything. by @iampatallen

Six years ago, the loss of one of my best friends changed the trajectory of my life. His sudden death destroyed me, beginning a soul wrenching journey that transformed the way I saw everything.

From the low point of his loss has come some of the things I’m most proud of. His life and untimely death instilled in me the fearlessness necessary to pursue my dreams and imparted upon me a deep gratitude for everything in life. It sparked a soul-searching journey that took me through twenty countries and led to the creation of a brand.

Ben Weible changed me. And for that change, I’m eternally grateful.

Honoring him and his contribution to my life is a project I’ve worked on for three years. Today, I’m proud to unveil what I’ve created in his memory and share with you the story. “Ben’s Shirt” is our tri-blend grey t-shirt inspired by the one he would always wear.

For each shirt sold, we will donate 15% of the proceeds to the Harmony Project in his name: a charity that gives instruments and music lessons to children who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford them.

I’d love if you took a minute to read the story in my bio.

If you’d like to support, we’re offering 10% off with the code: “FORBEN” by @iampatallen
