Family and friends gathered in Depot Park on a rainy Saturday afternoon to dedicate a playground bench in memory of Beck James Myers.
The idea for A Bench for Beck came from a Humans of New York posting, and was installed with the help of the City of the Village of Clarkston and City Manager Carol Eberhardt, said family friend Michelle Krawczak.
Liz Tillamder also shared memories of Beck, and they collected Matchbox cars to be donated to Funshine Preschool, where Beck attended.
Krawczak set up a GoFundMe account for donations, collecting almost $2,300 for Beck’s parents, Ben and Vanessa Myers, and family.
