With profound sadness, family, friends, and the Taren Point community mourn the passing of Benjamin ‘Ben’ Coombes, a devoted father, loving family member, and cherished friend. Ben leaves behind his two beautiful daughters, Luca and Gypsy, who were the center of his world.
He was their constant source of love, protection, laughter, and guidance, and his devotion to them shaped every aspect of his life. His passing leaves an irreplaceable void in their lives and in the hearts of all who knew him.
Born and raised in New South Wales, Ben was known for his warmth, kindness, and unwavering dedication to those he loved. He was a devoted father who always put his daughters first, dreaming big for their future and working tirelessly to provide them with opportunities, stability, and happiness.
Ben’s commitment extended beyond providing material needs; he nurtured Luca and Gypsy’s growth, encouraged their passions, and celebrated their achievements. He cherished everyday moments with them, from simple playtime to special family outings, always prioritizing their well-being above all else.
Friends and family remember Ben for his humor, generosity, and the joy he brought into every room. He was a reliable friend, a loving son and brother, and a person who always sought to make life better for those around him.
His laughter, kindness, and calm presence made him a beloved figure in his community, and his absence is deeply felt. In response to this heartbreaking loss, a fundraiser has been established to support Luca and Gypsy.
The funds raised will provide for their daily needs, schooling, extracurricular activities, and future opportunities, ensuring the care and stability their father so passionately wanted for them.
While nothing can replace Ben’s presence, this support will allow his daughters to continue growing, learning, and pursuing their dreams with the guidance and encouragement he would have given.
Ben’s legacy is one of love, devotion, and selflessness. He taught those around him the importance of caring for others, celebrating life’s joys, and cherishing family above all else. Though his time with us was tragically short, the impact he had on his daughters, family, and community will endure.
