A day in the life of Jared, Remembering Ben Rockwell, an accessibility advocate and the face of the AAC

A Day in the life of Jared at L.A. Metro by Jared Rimer

Episode notes

Welcome to a day in the life of Jared, I'm Jared. On this episode, we are paying tribute to one of the AAC fomer members, Ben Rockwell.

Ben was born in 1945 and died in December 2025. We were notified on December 22, 2025 and the memorial was on Sunday, March 22, 2026.

The podcast itself covers his life as I knew it, the journey to Long Beach where we met up with our very own Cynde Soto, member of the AAC. After we take you through the Long Beach Loop, I give you my thoughts on the service, play one of Ben's favorites as well as one very impactful piece of my choice that I played in a different podcast of a similar nature.
