Benjamin Poole was a little boy with a sweet voice, kind heart and precious demeanor. He died on Tuesday after a long battle with medulloblastoma. He was 3 years old.
He had a soft, sweet nature and an angelic voice but he fought like a warrior. His parents, his grandparents and his Uncle Clark were with him when he passed and his mother and father say he looked at peace.
He was an adorable little boy who lived his life for the precious moments that make each day special. He didn't seem to know he was sick. Whether singing "High Hopes" during his chemotherapy, swimming in his red shirt with daddy between treatments or coloring with mommy, he radiated joy every day. He was a fan of balloons, bounce houses and Mickey Mouse. He was very detail oriented little boy who preferred his green blankie and picked the threads on his blanket with his pingers (fingers). His short life before his diagnosis was filled with time with his Mimi and Pawpaw, his Yaya and Granddad and his Woof Woof, Leo. He had visited the beaches in Florida, the Bahamas, Beavercreek, Colorado, visited cousins in Washington DC and even spent time in the Watergate hotel.
Not often we experience an angel on earth. The signs were subtle but they were there. When he was born, he quietly looked up to his mommy and daddy with wide blinking eyes taking them in. He felt no urge to cry. He was an easy child who didn't try to get into cabinets or cause his mom too much stress.
During his treatments and chemo, he'd still sing and dance to his favorite songs. As he lost his hair from chemo, the remaining hairs took the shape of a halo and in the last weeks, during sleep he would reach his hand up to the sky on and off and point. The signs were subtle but they were there. While medulloblastoma stole his body from us, his vibrant soul remains in our hearts.
He is survived by his father and mother:

Madelyn

Monica and Rodger Poole
