Craig Close a friend, a mentor, and a father to me, died Sunday morning.

"ROGERS -- A Rogers man died Sunday after a section of a tree he apparently was cutting into pieces rolled on top of him.
Craig Close, 57, of Rogers was found underneath the trunk of a large tree he was cutting into smaller pieces by Deputy Gary Davis of the Benton County Sheriff's Office, according to a news release.
The tree already had been felled, but it appears the tree somehow shifted and rolled on top of Close, according to there lease. He was unresponsive and not breathing when a deputy arrived just before 1 p.m.
Close's wife discovered her husband under the trunk of the tree when searching to tell him to get ready for work.
