The city of Fort Worth on Tuesday approved a memorial honoring a couple who died more than two years ago when their car was hit by street racers.
The memorial was proposed by District 6 councilman Jared Williams. At the Fort Worth city council meeting Tuesday night, both Ben and Meg Arbour’s parents commented on the memorial.
Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker knew Ben Arbour and said the city council has had discussions on the issue of street racing. In the two-and-a-half years since the Arbours’ deaths, Lead Pastor Dale Braswell with Wedgwood Baptist Church said their legacies live on at the church. The Arbours had been involved with the church for about three years, said Pastor Braswell said.
Ben Arbour was a candidate to become a top volunteer leadership role at the church, Braswell said. In the time following their deaths, he said there was an outpour of support for their family.
