of Lamar, AR
January 29, 1942 - June 15, 2017
Rev. Roy Robert Schreckhise Sr. was born January 29, 1942 in Kansas City, Missouri to Rev. Faxon & Margaret (Benjamin) Schreckhise. He passed away on June 15, 2017 in Ft Smith, Arkansas. Roy wore many hats in his life, and accomplished much: he picked cotton, was a pilot, worked at a casket factory, served in the U.S. Army, was a school teacher, a pastor, builder of houses and churches. He was a commercial fisherman, a welder, a farmer and cattleman, and a businessman. His greatest accomplishment, however, was his family: he was a loving and caring husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, and leaves a mighty legacy.
He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Faxon Schreckhise.

I went to school with Roy, his brother Faxon and Loda as Loda and I were classmates. I always admired Roy and Loda for their outstanding witness for the Lord and their hard working lifestyle. Even though it has been many years since I have seen Roy, the memores of he and Loda are still fresh. Heaven gained a stalwart and he is waiting on many of us, including his precious family to join him for eternal rewards. In Love, Johnny Ray
