To the family of "Spanky" Monroe, I am saddened to hear of the sudden loss of your Son, Brother, and my dear friend .....We grew up together, and a person always assumes that we all will be around for the same amount of time.....
Unfortunately, life doesn't work that way.......I am very proud to have known Spanky...From Nora Stewart Nursery, Hickman High School, to everyday life.....I'll miss you Spanky........................Billy Rogers
It breaks our hearts that Arnel is no longer with us but this young man leaves behind lots of great memories! While coaching with Arnel at Hickman High in the early to mid-90's I realized quickly that he was truly a "glass half full" personality. For Arnel it was always an EXPECTATION to strive for success regardless of the odds we faced in the classroom or on the field. More importantly, he never lost track of the concept that we all should do whatever it takes to help our students and student-athletes achieve their goals and dreams. Sparky you are appreciated and will be missed!
