BEN UNDERWOOD HAS DIED.

I have just heard that modern human marvel Ben Underwood, featured here for his amazing echolocation talent, passed away on January 19, 2009 at age of 16. He was taken by the same cancer that claimed his sight and leaves behind a legacy of inspiration few will ever match.

I offer my sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

  • So very sad… my thoughts are with his family and friends. What a remarkable person he was!

  • Ben had such a Special gift which allowed him to ’see’ in his unique way. His self pride and desire to Be independent impressed each of us that saw his TV appearances. His passing was unexpected to those of us in the public that did not know him. However, the strength of him and his family is even more amazing because it is likely that They knew that his future health remained a matter of concern and risk, yet he went about living his life to the fullest.

    Ben is now looking down upon his family with a New sight that is clearer than any he could have had here on earth. …I am sure they know that with all their heart and love. May they all move forward, knowing that Ben represented himself, and them, with the greatest pride, and the love of all who saw or met him while he was here. RIP

  • this is very sad indeed, he was an amazing boy who had an amazing gift.

    RIP ben.

  • I’m so sorry to hear that. My condolences to his family.

  • To Ben’s family;

    I was so sorry to hear that Ben had died. I watched with awe the show that was done on Ben’s life and echolocation abilities. I could not help but love Ben watching him conquer everything he came across. He seemed to have no fear, he was so full of discovery and talent it just made me be in awe of what God can do with Ben. I was very happy to see that he was given opportunity to do things he might not have been able to do because of the Discovery Channel show.

    I cried when I saw that his cancer had returned and he lost his fight. My heart goes out to all of his family and friends. We have witnessed a miracle live among us. I wish I could have known him personally. Now you know he’s in heaven showing God how to echolocate, lol. To his mother, thank you for sharing Ben with the world. The world is a far better place having had Ben among us if even for a short time. Thank you Ben. So long, see you in Heaven.

When I read the end of the article that I read abouthim and saw that he had gone, my heart shattered, and moments after that I started crying; and I still am. This makes me thankful for every single day that God blesses me with on this earth.

  • Ben is an angel now, and he can see God.
    Ave, Maria, gratia plena, Dominus Tecum, benedicta Tu in mulieribus et benedictus fructus ventris Tui, Jesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen. Angele Dei, qui custos es mei, me Tibi commissum pietate superna, illumina, custodi, rege et guberna. Amen.
    Rest in peace, Ben Underwood.

  • Sono davvero commosso per la storia di questo fratello, non aveva nulla in meno di noi, anzi credo ci abbia insegnato tanto. Il nostro corpo è completo di tutto, basta allenarlo. Qualcuno dovrebbe studiare come aiutare il prossimo invece di spedere energie in guerre e distruzioni. Ben, see you next life.
