Thomas Fletcher Beatty

I am an old classmate of Fletcher's. We went all the way through school from Madison Elementary to Hinsdale Central. I was looking at an old yearbook and wanted to see where the world had taken every one. I'm so sorry to hear about Fletcher's passing. He was a kind person with an easy laugh, and I remember him being a goofball in grammar school.

Sending love, hugs and peace to the Beatty and Borizov family. I know Kate loved her brother unconditionally and this is going to be a long hard journey. You will meet again someday Kate until then know that you are all loved and in our prayers.

Fletcher,
I loved you like a big sister and the loss of you has carved out a piece of my heart. You will be dearly missed and your life will be celebrated! -Annie

Back when we lived down the street from our cousins in Weaverville, Fletcher was home and Tom & Cathie had left for the weekend. We invited Fletcher to come for dinner and to watch the city's 4th of July fireworks that went off from downtown, in our driveway. We had acquired a bag full of fireworks of our own. We ask Fletcher if he would do the honors of setting off our personal fireworks display. He and our oldest daughter had a blast setting off one of the best fireworks display for the rest of the family.
He was always great with our kids and a gentle soul with our pups.
Fletcher will be missed by our family.
We'll do fireworks again when we meet up in heaven. Until then, rest in peace.

As an apprentice I worked with Tom in Durham, NC around 2018. He spent his time with me on our breaks and helped me with my welding. He gave me his welding hood when he upgraded his own and that hood is still hanging at my work station. He was well liked and will be missed.

Fletcher, I will miss you every day for the rest of my life. Save me a seat at the concert, Brother. XX

Please accept our condolences on the loss of your son. Kathy and I will be keeping you and the Family in our prayers.
