My deepest condolences to the Benson family. The depth of your grief must be unbearable. Gus was a young gentleman full of promise and vitality. His loss is a horrible tragedy. I wept and raged at a system which betrayed him. He was honest, resilient. Often wise, compassionate, Gus transcended the narrative of his disease. He was a young man becoming. The world is a lesser place without him in it. I mourn his loss. May you find solace in the knowledge that he was loved.

Gus was such a sensitive and beautiful soul. I have so many wonderful memories with him. He taught me how to play Mario Cart, he introduced me to Wim Hof breathing, he played the piano for me…we laughed and cried together. I admired how, when he struggled, he would pick himself up, dust himself off, and get back out there. I loved his sense of humor. He will live on in my heart always.

I remember being cool with Gus back in middle school. Gus was always so energetic and outgoing, it was hard not to see him in a room. When I think of Gus, a memory of us sitting on a coach bus on our way to Washington D.C for a school trip always comes to mind. Gus and I had seen some bright yellow monster drinks at a gas station we had stopped at, and we just had to buy them, just because it looked like a tennis ball packaging with the clear outside and the tennis ball colored drink inside. Safe to say we couldn’t sit still for the rest of the ride. I wish I could’ve kept up with Gus throughout high school. I can only imagine what a great guy he must of been to the people around him.

Gus was a dear friend of mine since I first met him in 2018. I think he understood and trusted me, and me him, in a way that that is rare among friends who don’t live near each other. I was blessed to have the opportunity to get to know Gus and his hilarious sense of humor. His soul is beautiful and will continue to live on.

Gus was an exceptional young man who touched the lives of others with his kindness and compassion. His vibrant spirit and enthusiasm for life were contagious, and he had a remarkable ability to bring people together. He'll be remembered for his unwavering optimism, his resilience in the face of challenges, and his genuine concern for the well-being of others. The memories he leaves behind will forever hold a special place in the hearts of those who knew him. Although his time with us was cut short, his legacy will continue to inspire and uplift others. May his soul rest in peace, and may his loved ones find solace in the cherished moments they shared with him.

What a beautiful boy. We will always remember how proud and excited Mac was to bring his brother around to be with the “big kids” in Larchmont. Sending prayers and love to all the Bensons and wishing Gus peace in Heaven.
