Ludwig Hugo Meinholz

of Little Rock, AR

December 25, 1941 - July 9, 2024

Ludwig Hugo Meinholz passed away peacefully on July 9, 2024, at the age of 82. He was born on December 25, 1941, in Hannover, Germany to Rudolf and Margarete Meinholz. Ludwig immigrated to the United States in 1963, and years later became US citizen. He worked as a Marketing Director at Riceland Foods.

Although he spent more years of his life in the US, Ludwig travelled back home to Einbeck, Germany almost every year to visit his mother who lived to be 109 and still tended to her flower garden. He also attended reunions and festivities with his classmates and sisters every year until he could no longer travel due to illness.

Growing up in Germany, Ludwig played soccer in school and was an avid fan of international soccer games. He especially enjoyed watching when Germany was playing. Ludwig's hobby was wood working, this was very important to him and gave him much joy. He told fascinating endless sad stories of his travels, experiencing post World War II, that would melt the hardest of hearts. Ludwig was the most sensitive, kind, compassionate, and sweetest loving man you would ever meet, he will be dearly missed.

Ludwig was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife, Ruth Meinholz; two sisters, Erika Colius of Canada; Almut Sohnemann of Germany; his niece, Stefanie Winters of Germany; stepson, Chad Mowrey (Ashley); step grandchildren; Olivia; Ava; and Eleanor.

Ludwig was a member of Pulaski Heights United Methodist Church, 4823 Woodlawn Ave., in Little Rock. He was a member of Fathomers Sunday School Class and a member of the Gospel Mission of the Philippines for many years.

Memorials may be made to general fund of PHUMC. A memorial service will be held October 2, 2024 at 2 PM at PHUMC.

Ruhe in Frieden Auf Wiedersehen, Lucky. (in English, rest in peace and goodbye, Lucky)

I will miss Lucky. He was a great friend and neighbor to my parents and my friend also. How we loved seeing him when we came to Arkansas . He always came to the house to visit when we were there. We celebrated some holidays together. We had some good chats! He was a wonderful person and will be missed.

To be absent from the body is presence with the Lord.

Ruthie, God will see you through.
