Tributes To Fletcher Arritt
Below are some of the statements shared across social media users’ timelines on the death of Arritt.
One of the biggest basketball ledgends in my life passed away. Please pray for me and my Fork Union Basketball family. Coach Fletcher Arritt transitioned at 79 years old. The last time I saw coach was in 2017 when he and Gary Hines surprised me at my M.U. Hall of Fame induction.
It’s one of those things that we knew would happen eventually…people don’t live forever, but it’s devastating as hell when the great ones leave us. Fletcher Arritt coached, mentored, and entertained (whether he intended to or not) so many of us. He remembered EVERYTHING and EVERYONE and told the best stories. He was a simple man, had incredible fashion sense, wore the same pair of shoes FOREVER, but he deeply loved his family, the game of basketball, and finding good people and coaching them to their potential.
