It is with immense sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the untimely passing of Ben Honeycutt, beloved son of Zen Labossiere Honeycutt, the founder and executive director of Moms Across America. Ben passed away suddenly at just 22 years old, leaving behind a legacy that far surpasses his young age—a legacy rooted in courage, love, and transformational impact.
Ben’s life was one of profound significance. Although he faced serious health challenges from a young age, his journey sparked a movement that has reached families across the nation and beyond. It was Ben’s personal struggles that compelled his mother, Zen, to seek answers—not only for her own child but for millions of others. That search led to the creation of Moms Across America, a powerful grassroots organization that advocates for health, transparency, and accountability in our food, medical, and environmental systems.
What began as a mother’s pursuit to heal her son became a national and global call to action. Ben’s experience became the heart of a movement that empowers parents and communities to take charge of their well-being and demand safer, healthier options for their families. In that sense, Ben was not only an inspiration—he was the spark that ignited a fire of truth and transformation.
Those who knew Ben personally describe him as kind, thoughtful, and strong beyond measure. His quiet resilience and gentle presence had a way of touching people deeply. Though he lived with vulnerability, he also lived with great strength—and it was that strength that inspired countless others to fight for change. His story resonated far and wide, motivating families to read labels more closely, ask tougher questions, and stand tall in the face of adversity.
Zen has often credited Ben as the soul of her mission. His life was a guiding force behind every petition signed, every educational event held, and every mother empowered to speak up. Even in silence, Ben moved mountains. His life, while short, became a symbol of what can be achieved when love and advocacy intersect.
As Zen and her family face this unimaginable loss, the Moms Across America community stands beside them—grieving, remembering, and continuing the work Ben helped shape. The movement he inspired will not stop. If anything, his passing fuels an even deeper commitment to protect the next generation and ensure no parent has to face the same unanswered questions.
Messages of love and condolences have poured in from across the country, honoring Ben’s memory and his role in shaping a healthier, more conscious world. The Honeycutt family is profoundly grateful for the outpouring of support and asks for continued prayers and compassion during this time of mourning.
Ben’s passing is a heartbreaking loss to his family and to a community that has walked alongside him in spirit for many years. But his legacy endures—in every mother who speaks out, in every child whose life is improved through informed choices, and in every step forward toward a safer, healthier future.
Though Ben is no longer with us physically, his spirit lives on in the hearts of those who loved him and the work that continues in his honor. Let us remember him not only for the struggle he endured, but for the change he inspired. In honoring Ben, we honor the very best of humanity: love, advocacy, and hope for a better tomorrow.
Rest in peace, Ben Honeycutt. Your story continues, and your light will never be extinguished
