My name is Valerie Council.

Our family has suffered a huge blow this evening with the sudden and tragic loss of one of our own, Nathaniel Fletcher. After not hearing from Nathaniel for a couple of days, his sister alerted authorities here in Benton County, and by the end of the day, our fears were confirmed.

His family, of course, was not prepared for this and is still trying to grasp what has transpired over the last 24 hours. I am requesting for Nathaniel’s friends and extended family to please help and pitch in to help cover arrangement costs; every penny counts. Please help me help the immediate family as they pass through this time of sorrow.
