Hide AdSpeaking to the Courier last year, Ben's mum Mandy Rathmell-Benn said she had been left "broken" by her son's death.
"Everybody has said he always made everyone laugh," she said. "He was so witty and funny.
"He was a brilliant dad. He and his son had such a close bond."
A fundraiser set up in Ben’s memory raised thousands of pounds and a rugby match – the Ben Benn Cup - was organised in his honour.
The inquest hearing will take place at Bradford Coroner’s Court.
