R.M. Reynolds

R. M. Reynolds, age 86, passed away peacefully on Monday, December 23, at Encore Nursing Home with his sister and brother-in-law at his side. He was born on December 11, 1938, in the Antioch Community to Murphy and Rena Mae Reynolds. 

Moving to California with his family as a youth, he continued to live there for many years before returning to Arkansas. Much of his career was spent working in construction as a member of Laborers’ International Union. He also served in the US Marine Corps. R. M. was a big fan of car racing and enjoyed working on old cars. Never having married, he enjoyed spending time with siblings and their families and was always there to lend a hand when needed.

He was preceded in death by his parents; three brothers, Elbert, Stanley and Larry Reynolds; anda sister, Margaret Fogle. He will be remembered by his remaining siblings: two brothers, John Reynolds (Terri) of Missouri City, TX, and Hubert Reynolds of California; two sisters, Joy Miller of Springdale and Mary Hickman (Johnny) of Malvern. He also leaves behind numerous nephews and nieces. 

We wish to thank Encore Health and Rehab staff for all their care and consideration during his nearly three years there and also many thanks to Gentiva Hospice who helped us greatly during this time. 

It was R. M.’s wish to be cremated and no services are planned at this time.
