There are no words that truly prepare you for saying goodbye to someone who has been such a big part of your life and your family.
For over 10 years, Ben Guerrant poured his heart into A Gathering Place. He wasn’t just our Executive Director—he was our leader, our encourager, our advocate, and our friend. He believed in people, saw potential where others didn’t, and never hesitated to offer support, guidance, or a kind word when it was needed most.
Many of us were blessed to experience firsthand the deep love he had for his wife, his family, our participants, and this community. His presence brought comfort, laughter, strength, and faith to so many lives.
As we share his arrangements, we ask that you keep his family and all who loved him in your prayers. While our hearts are broken, we are grateful for the years we had with him and the countless memories he leaves behind.
To allow our staff and participants the opportunity to honor Ben and attend services, A Gathering Place will be closed on Tuesday, June 9th.
We will miss him more than words can express, but his legacy of kindness, compassion, and service will continue to live on through all of us.
Rest easy, Ben. You were loved beyond measure, and you will never be forgotten. ❤️
