🕊️ Rest in Peace, Ben Conken 🕊️
Today, we honor the life, strength, and legacy of Ben Conken.
Ben was a former student-athlete at Cottage Hill Christian Academy, where he made his mark both in the classroom and on the field before continuing his academic and athletic journey at the University of West Florida.
Ben fought a courageous battle with cancer, showing the same heart, toughness, and determination that defined him as an athlete. His fight may be over, but the impact he made on his family, friends, teammates, coaches, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him will live on.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Conken family, his loved ones, and the entire Cottage Hill and UWF communities during this difficult time. 🙏🏽💙
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” — 2 Timothy 4:7
Rest easy, Ben. Your name, your fight, and your legacy will not be forgotten. 🕊️🏈
Forever a Warrior. Forever an Argonaut.
