Taren Point Community Mourns the Passing of Benjamin “Ben” Coombes
TAREN POINT, NSW — Family and community members are mourning the passing of Benjamin “Ben” Coombes, a devoted father, loving family member, and cherished friend whose loss is being felt deeply throughout Taren Point and beyond.
Ben leaves behind his two daughters, Luca and Gypsy, who were the center of his world. Those closest to him say his life revolved around providing love, guidance, and protection for his children, and his devotion to them shaped every decision he made.

While nothing can replace Ben’s presence, the support of the community offers comfort during this difficult time.
