Ben mentioned Kid Cudi in his video. Kid Cudi wrote this message on his personal tumblr and has tweeted and posted the videos on his twitter account (@wizardcud). Ben died Christmas day while playing football with his family when his pacemaker stopped working. He went to Westlake High School in Austin, Texas.
