Brockton Asher Fritts

Brockton Asher Fritts, age 8, of Butler passed away on Saturday, May 6, 2023 due to an accident. Brock was born on August 19, 2014 to David and Donna Arnold Fritts. He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Louis (Butch) Allen Fritts, Jr.

Brock was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of six and was always very strong, brave, and accepting of his diagnosis. Brock loved history and could keep you entertained by telling you everything he knew, even if you didn’t want to know. He could tell you the dates of when every Godzilla and Titanic movie came out. He was wide open 24/7 and loved life. He was a big jokester and would do anything to scare someone or make them laugh. He loved Jesus and talking about Jesus and would always send videos to spread the Gospel. One of his favorite things to do was play cops and robbers while chasing his sister around on the mini bike and 4-wheeler. He loved to chase his dog, Oliver around the house and keep him safe and loved cats, especially CeCe. He would do anything to be able to jump on the trampoline.

Those left to cherish his memories include his Mom and Dad, David and Donna Fritts; sister Hannah Fritts; maternal grandparents, Bud and Helen Arnold; paternal grandmother, Kathleen Fritts; aunts and uncles, David and Brenda Arnold, Dianna and Kenny Luckett, Christy Fritts; first cousins, Ashley and David Casaday (Tatum), Nathan Arnold, Trevor Luckett, Hayden Luckett (Maddi), Hailey Shephard, Mark Fritts; many other great aunts, uncles, and cousins; special family friends, Autumn Shepherd and Candi Presnell.
