Following the death of Lisa Marie Presleyโ€™s son, old clips have been resurfacing on the Internet. One of them is a video of Benjamin Keough greeting paparazzi with Michael Jackson in the 1990s. Fans may remember that Lisa Marie and Michael had a 2-year-long marriage. In the video, Ben is seen walking with his mom and then-step-father.

Michaelโ€™s father, Joe Jackson, and Benโ€™s sister, Riley, can also be seen stringing along in the video. The video was taken in 1997, which wouldโ€™ve made Ben about 5 years old at the time. Ben, who has blonde hair in the video, can be seen waving and smiling at the camera as he passes by.

One of Benโ€™s friends, Brandon Howard, also spoke highly of him following the news. โ€œHe is a wonderful, magical person. Itโ€™s just one of the reasons why this is so shocking, and heโ€™s the very person that would be there for anybody. If you need him, heโ€™ll crash on your couch for three weeks just to make sure that youโ€™re doing OK.โ€

Resting easy

Howard also calls his late, long-time friend โ€œmulti-faceted.โ€ He says, โ€œHe can go from being, like, the scholar to the wild guy, to the amazing brother that you never had. โ€ฆย He was so gifted in so many ways. Youโ€™re lucky to know him, to even be around him.โ€

One thing is for certain, that Ben was surrounded by people who loved him. May he rest in peace.
