A beautiful recovery story came to a tragic end when 20-year-old Ben Baker died of an accidental overdose on Jan. 23.
The family has started a GoFundMe to help purchase two benches in Ben’s name.
The first bench is to go in West Kelowna, while the other is to go across the street from the treatment facility in New Westminster that gave Ben what his stepdad describes as his best years.
