It is with heavy hearts that we inform you of the loss of one of our own, Benjamin Duma. Ben was a junior engineering student from Atlanta, Georgia. Simply put, he was one of the most heart-filling, wonderful midshipmen we had. He was the type to brighten the room, infect everyone with his laughter, and lift the spirits of those around. We will miss him deeply. As the Trojan Battalion suffers through this difficult time, remember that there are resources available to help those affected. If you need help, please do not hesitate to reach out to the university's Student Counseling and Mental Health Services at (213)-740-9355. Finally, our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. If you would like to help them out, we ask you to consider contributing to the GoFundMe created to help with funeral and memorial costs, and to share it with friends and family.
Fight on forever, Ben.
