Robert Leon “Bob” Russell
Surrounded by love, Robert Leon “Bob” Russell left this world to enter the presence of the Lord on March 3, 2026. He was 81 years old.
Born on September 17, 1944, in Davenport, Iowa, Bob lived a full and faithful life marked by hard work, deep devotion to his family, and a steady joy that touched everyone who knew him.
Bob proudly served his country in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War and received several commendations, including the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, and the Meritorious Unit Commendation Ribbon. After his military service, he built a long and successful career in retail management with Walmart and Family Dollar, eventually serving as a Regional Vice President. He was known for being firm but fair, and for genuinely caring about the people he worked alongside.
Family was always at the center of Bob’s life. He loved gathering around the table each week to play cards and games with family and neighbors. After retiring, he and his beloved wife of 60 years, Linda, enjoyed traveling and taking cruises together, creating treasured memories side by side.
Bob was a devoted Arkansas Razorbacks fan and had a deep love for music. He rarely missed reading the newspaper from front to back and took great pride in keeping his yard in pristine condition. Time spent outdoors was one of his simple joys and reflected the care he put into everything he did.
He is survived by his loving wife, Linda R. Russell; his sons, Curt Russell and wife Lissa, and Kevin Russell and wife Pride; his grandchildren, Payton Russell (Taylor), Paige Harms (Jason), Garrett Russell (Hannah), and Kyndsey Russell (Colton); and a soon-to-arrive great-grandson, Beckham Lane Harms. He is also survived by his sisters, Dolly Winckler and Joyce Minard; along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will miss him dearly.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert H. and Margaret E. (Graham) Russell; his siblings, Chuck Russell, Sandy Hume, Larry Russell, Roberta Whan, and Leona Russell; and his special fur babies, Baby Cuddles and Abby.
Services will be held at Smith Family Funeral Home in Benton, Arkansas, on Friday, March 6, 2026. Visitation will begin at 1:00 p.m., followed by the memorial service, complete with military honors at 2:00 p.m.
Bob will be remembered for his strength, his steady presence, and the deep love he had for his family. He leaves behind a legacy of faith, devotion, and unwavering support.
Roger Lee Fox Jr.
Roger Lee Fox Jr., 43, of East End, Arkansas, passed away on February 27, 2026, in a tragic car accident, just five days after celebrating his birthday. He was born on February 22, 1983, in Houston, Texas, to Mayris Jean Fox and Roger Lee Fox Sr.
Roger began his professional journey as the owner of his own DJ business in Seattle, Washington. He later built a successful career in the hospitality industry, managing multiple restaurants and leaving a lasting impression on everyone he encountered.
If you knew Roger, one thing always came to mind, his smile. It could light up any room. He had a remarkable gift for making people laugh. Whether you were having a rough day or simply needed a reason to smile, Roger knew exactly how to bring joy to those around him. His larger-than-life personality often led people to say, “That man could’ve been a politician.”
Above all else, Roger was a phenomenal father. He worked tirelessly, often holding three jobs, to provide not only what his children needed, but also to make sure they experienced the things they wanted. From his oldest son to his youngest daughter, Roger was always a coach. From the early days of East End peewee football to the long nights under the lights at Sheridan High School, he poured his heart into mentoring young athletes. He applied the same love, dedication, and life lessons he practiced as a father to his coaching. He shaped the lives of many young men, some of whom gather today in his honor. Firm yet fair, he led with both strength and compassion.
Roger is survived by the mother of his sons, Amanda Nicole Archer; his four beloved children, Kadin Nicholas, Spencer Martin, Braxton Alexander, and Adalynn Mae Fox; his two sisters, Heather Jean Fox and Crystal Lee Fox; his parents, Mayris Jean Fox and Roger Lee Fox Sr.; and his wife, KC Fox.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, William Howard Martin and Ora Patricia Martin.
Memorial service will be held on Friday, March 6, 2026, at 2:00 P.M. with visitation being held the night prior from 6:00 – 8:00 P.M. at Dial and Dudley Funeral Home in Bryant, Arkansas.
