Junior made slumber parties at my home with my son Shelby and Cooper and Casey Krenek some of the best childhood memories our family treasures. His warmth, wonder and kindness were evident in every milestone. Junior's smile melted our hearts whether the boys were fishing, playing football on the Krenek's lawn or driving our dog Snowball around in the golf cart. At meals, junior always modeled the best behavior for our boys. He always remembered please, thank you, Yes Ma'am, and was the first to remember to rinse his plate. Junior protected his friends and displayed the greatest loyalty imaginable. I will love Arthur into eternity as he placed the hugest footprint on our hearts. Our sincerest condolences to our entire Chosen Family. With Love, Suzy Long Prosser

I met Arthur when he was in third grade at Roebuck Elementary School. My grandchildren attended there and I would go on Fridays to help the students with whatever the teacher had planned for that day. When reading with Arthur and two or three others, Arthur would peer at me from behind a chair or hide under a desk with a mischievous sparkle in his eyes and a grin on his face. Of course, I saw him, but never let on that I did. I always enjoyed being around Arthur with his wonderful temperament and infectious humor that always brought a smile to my face, or kept me laughing. Once, when I saw him in the hall at school, I gave him a hug and told him that God was going to make a wonderful man out of him. For several years, I never knew what happened to Arthur, but I had always hoped to see him again. Imagine my delight when I saw him during his high school days when I was waiting in the Dorman parking lot to pick up my grandsons, two teenage boys came over to my car, and one of them was Arthur! The news of his passing has upset me greatly, and I wish for his family all the peace, hope, and love of God through Jesus Christ. Sincerely, Lisa Brooks

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
