Herbert Mitchell Fletcher, Sr

Herbert M. Fletcher, Sr. "Bae" was born to the Fred Fletcher and Mary Bruce in Grayson County, Ky.

"Bae" as he was affectionally called by family and friends, graduated from Leitchfield High School in 1968, and later moved to Louisville, KY, where he found work in Accounting. After a while he decided to follow his heart and begin working "with his hands" in the construction industry. Throughout his career his insight and opinion were respected by many, making him a sought after Foreman for many job-sites. Bae had a hand in the building or rebuilding of most interstates and/or highways throughout the state of Kentucky, as well as jobs in Indiana and Ohio. Bae was a die-hard Cardinal fan and enjoyed going to and watching his Cardinals during basketball and football season proudly wearing his Louisville attire and flashing his "L".

Bae was raised in the church and was proud to speak of his relationship with God. Even though he was unable to physically attend church, he would often watch on YouTube and Facebook live on Sundays.

He was preceded in death by his parents and siblings, Fred Fletcher, Mary Fletcher, Hattie Drummond and Russell Fletcher.

Bae is survived by his children, Herbert (Nicole) Fletcher, Jr. and Jamar Fletcher; as well as his children in heart, Sean Conley and Kenyetta Rucker; grandchildren, Destiny, Deddrick, Keana, Amaria, Dawntrell, Bella, and Dejuan; siblings, Omar Bruce, Freda Fletcher, James Fletcher, Henry Fletcher, Catherine Morton, Denise Roach and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
