Dwight Kenneth Stone
November 1, 1958 – January 10, 2026

Dwight was a very simple man; he was a welder most of his adult life and built many different stainless-steel structures in the Fab Shop at Tyson’s for quite a few years. As a hobby he enjoyed riding his Harley with Carlia and seeing the countryside, building many BBQ Pits/Smokers, sitting in a deer stand, sitting on the back porch relaxing, growing many things (he did have quite a green thumb) but most of all spending time with what mattered most, his family. Family time was his best time; he loved his family very much. Dwight was a very quiet man, but when he had something to say, he definitely got your attention, either through an action, or his loud voice. He spoke words of wisdom, and if you wanted his opinion, he surely gave it to you in a very honest way, he wasn’t called Reverend for nothing, when he got on a subject he wouldn’t ever stop till he felt he was finished, or he got his point across.

Dwight wasn’t the “mushy” type person, but he showed love in different ways only a person that truly knew him would know, for example, “Call me when you get home, so I know you made it!”. He lived each day with Hope and Faith because he knew it was a gift and lived each day to the fullest and to the best of his ability.

Dwight was a wonderful provider, he’d do anything to take care of his family, even if it meant he’d have to walk through fire. Dwight had a lot of strength and courage. He loved his wife and best friend, Carlia, very much, his two sons Bobby and Brad, last but not least, the apple of his eye, Brantli Jo, his granddaughter, which gave him so much inspiration each day.

Left to cherish his memory, wife, Carlia Stone of Fulton, AR; two sons, Bobby and wife Jennifer Stone of Mansfield, LA, and Brad Stone of Hope, AR; granddaughter, Brantli Jo Stone oh Hope, AR; his father, Kenneth Stone of Hope, AR: brothers, Dwayne and wife Belinda Stone of Patmos, AR, and Chris Stone of Hope, AR; sisters, Debbie Stone of Hope, AR, and Alicia Stone of New York; aunt, Judy Stone of McCaskill.
