On September 17, the RxSight team announced the passing of their colleague, Brian Benson, a respected figure in the medical device industry whose career spanned nearly two decades. During his two years at RxSight, Brian earned admiration not only for his professional expertise but also for the warmth, kindness, and generosity he extended to everyone around him.
Brian, who lived in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, leaves behind his wife, Jamie, and their three young children — Molly (11), Russell (8), and Jack (6). His loss has left a profound void in both his workplace and his community, as friends and coworkers reflect on the depth of his contributions and the strength of his character.
A Career of Dedication
Colleagues describe Brian as someone who embodied commitment in every sense. With nearly 20 years of experience in medical device sales, he combined technical knowledge with a human touch, ensuring patients and clients alike benefited from his professionalism. “Brian wasn’t just a skilled representative — he cared about people,” one coworker shared. “He lifted others up and always made time for mentorship.”
Why His Story Resonates
Stories like Brian’s underscore the dual impact of professional lives and personal legacies. For the RxSight community, his passing is not only the loss of a team member but also a reminder of the value of compassion in a high-pressure field. In Scotch Plains, his role as a husband and father stands at the center of his legacy. His devotion to his family was evident in the way he spoke about them daily, balancing work with the responsibilities of parenthood.
Community Response and Support
In response to his passing, colleagues and friends have organized efforts to support Brian’s family with funeral expenses and immediate needs. A fundraising initiative is helping to provide stability for Jamie and their children as they navigate this difficult transition. Those unable to give financially are encouraged to share the campaign, amplifying the community’s support.
“Brian gave so much of himself to others,” another colleague reflected. “This is our chance to give back to the family he loved most.”
Brian Benson will be remembered not just for his professional achievements but for the compassion and generosity that defined his life. His legacy lives on in the colleagues he inspired, the friendships he nurtured, and the family he cherished above all else.
