Support Megan and the girls as they rebuild

Story

*UPDATE FROM MEGAN*

Benjamin passed away in my arms, surrounded by the infinite love of our family, Saturday, May 24th, 2025, after a heroic effort to tame his cancer and extend his earth-side years.

I’m in awe, though not the least bit surprised, that even in his passing he shone so brightly. The way Ben loved, acknowledged, and comforted everyone right up to the end is the ultimate illustration of his essence—kindness and goodness at his very core.

To the inexplicably sorrowful yin of grief, exists an equally comforting yang of gratitude. And the gratitude I feel exists beyond any conceivable measure. I struggle both to comprehend and articulate the magnitude of my appreciation for every single individual who has played a role in loving us through his experience. Every act of kindness and support has amassed into an enduring convoy that has carried us through the darkest moments. It’s truly unconscionable and leaves my head and heart reeling. The same feeling I get when thinking about infinity or eternity—tangible enough to conceptualize but impossible to grasp the vastness and influence.

So to you, our dear friends and family, please know we feel your love and support on a scale we cannot fully grasp. It is much bigger than we can ever fathom.

All Our Love,
The Nalder Family

Ben and his family made it to Utah, where Ben is now being treated at Hunstman’s Cancer Institute. He has officially been diagnosed with lung cancer (specifically non small cell adenocarcinoma). Ben, Megan, and their girls are doing as well as can be expected, and they wanted to thank everyone for their generous support and love. We are all so grateful for the kindness that has been extended to them. It means the world.

Last week, our world was rocked when our 40-year-old brother, Ben, was diagnosed with metastatic carcinoma, an aggressive form of cancer.

Ben, Megan, and their two beautiful girls are now facing the unimaginable. Currently living on the East Coast, they will need to relocate to Utah to be near family as Ben begins the fight for his life. During this difficult journey, we want to reduce the financial stress that comes with a cancer diagnosis. Any amount is helpful, and we are so grateful for all the love and support for Ben and his sweet family.
