LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Capt. Arthur “Bo” Felder’s best friend comforted almost 2,000 mourners at his funeral on May 3.
Eric Alexander, pastor of St. Luke Missionary Baptist Church in North Little Rock, said Felder’s good deeds during his life were payments on his new home in heaven.
“Don’t worry about (Felder’s death),” Alexander said. “The only thing that happened was that his house got paid off.”
Besides relatives and friends, attendees to the funeral at St. Mark’s Baptist Church in Little Rock also included fellow soldiers, a group of pastors and a group of teenagers for whom Felder was a mentor.
