April 28, 1988 - November 29, 2024

Eric Orlando Bonnett, age 36, of Conway, Arkansas passed away on November 29, 2024.

He is preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Erma and LB Franklin and paternal grandfather, John O. Peoples.

He is survived by his wife of 20 yrs, Samantha Bonnett; his three children, Malik, Jalacia and Landon Bonnett; his parents, Katie (Duke) Bryant and Ricky Bonnett; sisters, Ashley Rice, Flamecia Williams and Seda (Greg) Payne; brothers, Ricky (Yamonica) Jimmerson, Kenny (Marilyn) Bingham and Denzel Franklin; paternal grandmother, Inez Peoples and a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Eric graduated from Hamburg High School, Class of 2006, where he met his beloved wife, Samantha Wynn. After graduation, Eric attended Arkansas Tech University on a football scholarship. Eric was currently employed at 3M in Little Rock as a color technician where he just had his 10-year anniversary. Eric and Samantha went on to raise three children, Malik, Jalacia and Landon. Eric loved the Dallas Cowboys and his black and red mustang, famously known as Nightmare. One thing that Eric and his favorite football team's owner, Jerry Jones, had in common was that they both loved to talk. For Eric, trash talking was his specialty, especially when it came to racing his car or a Cowboys game.

Eric loved spending time with his family and taking vacations, particularly to theme parks, which were among his favorite destinations. Eric was a Momma's boy and the youngest of his siblings. To say he was spoiled is an understatement. The love he had for his nieces and nephews was unmatched. He would get in their business, invited or not. Eric will be deeply missed by all his loved ones, who will forever cherish the blessing of having known and loved him. He was loved by many and he loved even more. Eric's presence alone could make you laugh and was sure to leave you with a smile. He may be gone but he will never be forgotten.

Pallbearers: Jalacia Bonnett, Malik Bonnett, Landon Bonnett, Kevin Miller, Denzel Franklin, Jamal Brewer and KJ Brewer.

Honorary Pallbearers: EG, Chris Lewis, Greg Payne, Kenny Bingham and Ricky Jimmerson.
