Adron Graham Benton

Adron Graham Benton was born April 22, 2010. He entered the realm of the Lord on March 7, 2017. He was the beloved son of Ben T. Benton and Laurin C. Wallace. He was the light of their lives. Adron woke up happy and went to bed happy. He loved watching NASCAR and playing with his own racing cars. He loved swinging in a special hammock with this father and enjoyed listening to music with his mother. He was loved by his grandparents, family members, friends, school teachers and classmates. He taught us that there are many ways to communicate love without words. During his brief life, Adron came in contact with many caring health care providers. It is impossible to thank all of them. But to mention just a few, his family would like to thank the staff at the Elizabeth Richardson Center, Arkansas Regional Therapy Services, and his teachers at Vandergriff Elementary. His family also deeply appreciates all the medical personnel who provided care for Adron, including his pediatrician, staff at Washington Regional Medical Center, Angel One Helicopter Transport Team, and finally Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock, Ark. Adron's family has been overwhelmed by the outpouring of compassion expressed by the local community and the Vandergriff PTO. They are deeply grateful for this support. The family request that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Elizabeth Richardson Center, 3917 S Old Missouri Rd., Springdale, Ark. 72764. If donating, please note it is in memory of Adron Benton, for the Infant Development Center in Fayetteville. Services will be held on March 25, 2017 at 11 a.m. at the Unity Church on 4880 W. Wedington Drive, Fayetteville, Ark. Rest in peace, my little boy.
