The Presley family is in deep grief after the death of Benjamin Keough. He turned 27 years old.
– These are some of the darkest days in our family’s time. The shock of losing Ben has been devastating. The attempt to gather the pieces of all sorts of “why” has gnawed into my soul. Waking up every day and praying that it will get better. Then I think of my daughter and the pain she is going through, she was a devoted and extremely loving mother, Priscilla Presley writes in a post on Facebook.
She was Keough’s grandmother, and opens for the first time since his death up about the grief that has gripped the family. Keough died July 13th.
– Ben’s father is completely destroyed, Ben was his only son. Riley, so loving and close to him. Harper and Finley, who completely adored Ben. Navarone, who finds death and loss terribly difficult.
– Rest in peace, Ben, you were loved, it says in Presley’s Facebook post.
Similar to Elvis
