of Searcy, AR

November 7, 1934 - January 21, 2023

John is survived by Mrs. Linda Thompson, his companion of 10 years and his grandchildren, Nesha (Chris) Smith, Wes (Deidre) Hardin, Robert Doyal, Melanie (Steven) Gault, Billie (Jeremiah) Hall, Austin (Brittney) Doyal and numerous great-grandchildren. He is also survived by a host of friends and church family.

John is preceded in death by his wife, Johnnie Hester; his parents, John William and Rose Mary Hester and his daughters, Mary Brown and Jackie Hester.
