Benjamin “Ben” Adler
Organ and Tissue Donor
/August 28, 2025
My brother Ben was a teddy bear heart in a linebacker’s body. He was so funny and so eager to give his all in anything he did. He unfortunately passed in late August of 2025 and was fortunately registered to be an organ donor. His heart, liver, lungs, kidneys and some tissue were able to save multiple lives all across the country, which speaks volumes to the type of person Ben was. He was selfless and wanted to be friends with everyone. I love you, Ben.
