As a family friend to Ben and Nicole, I felt the call to start a GoFundMe to support this sweet family during this unimaginable time.

On Aug. 28th, at the age of 43, my longtime friend Ben Arnet passed away after an unexpected suspected cardiac event. He leaves behind his wife Nicole and their 10 year old daughter, Lyla. As the KOMU Sports Director, and a proud Hickman High and MU Graduate, Ben has been a very involved and important part of our Mid-Missouri community for decades. He delivered exceptional coverage of Friday Night Fever, Hoops Extra, Mizzou football and more. His love of sports was matched only by his love for his family. All donations will go to support them at this time.
