It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of Ben Honeycutt, beloved son of Zen Honeycutt, the founder and director of Moms Across America. Ben passed away at the young age of 22, leaving behind a legacy far greater than his years.

His journey, marked by immense challenges and courageous strength, became the heart of a national movement that continues to impact the lives of families across the country.

Ben’s personal health struggles were the catalyst for something extraordinary. His experiences lit a fire in his mother, Zen, to seek answers, advocate for transparency, and protect the health and well-being of children everywhere.

What began as a mother’s love and relentless determination for her son’s healing blossomed into the powerful Moms Across America movement—a grassroots initiative that now reaches and empowers millions.

Through her fight for Ben’s wellness, Zen sparked a wave of awareness and change that has influenced countless families to pursue healthier, more informed lifestyles.

Ben’s story—of resilience, vulnerability, and deep love—has always been central to the message and mission of Moms Across America. Though his path was difficult, his life was not in vain. He lived with strength and purpose, and the movement he inspired stands as a testament to his enduring impact.

In many ways, Ben was the soul of this work, quietly motivating thousands of mothers, advocates, and concerned citizens to ask questions, seek truth, and stand up for the health of their children.

As Zen takes time to grieve the unimaginable loss of her son, the community that Ben helped inspire remains strong, focused, and more committed than ever. The Moms Across America team, guided by Zen’s vision and Ben’s spirit, continues to carry forward the mission of creating healthy communities and fostering greater accountability in food, health, and environmental systems.

Many have reached out to offer condolences, support, and love during this incredibly difficult time. Zen and her family are deeply touched by the outpouring of kindness. While words can bring comfort, there is no greater way to honor Ben’s memory than to ensure that the work he inspired lives on.

By continuing to support the mission of Moms Across America—through advocacy, education, and community engagement—we help keep Ben’s legacy alive and thriving.

Ben’s passing is a profound loss, not only to his family but to the entire community that has been moved by his story. He will be remembered for the strength he showed, the love he gave, and the change he inspired.

Though he is no longer with us in body, his spirit lives on in every action taken to protect the health of our children, in every voice raised for justice, and in every step toward a healthier, more conscious world.

Ben Honeycutt may have left this world far too soon, but his life continues to be a light—a light that will never be extinguished. May we honor him by carrying that light forward, together.
