WILLIAM E. DELOACH

It is with profound joy and sadness that we announce the passing of William E 
"Dub" DeLoach. After a lengthy battle with Parkinson's Disease which spanned 
many decades, Dub was called to his heavenly reward on 31 May 2014. While we are 
saddened concerning this loss, we are assured of his eternal destiny and this 
gives all of us great peace. Dub has been a life long servant of the Lord Jesus 
Christ, ministering and serving churches in Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia and 
most notably at the White's Ferry Road Church of Christ in West Monroe, 
Louisiana. The most cherished and happiest days of his life include his service 
at the White's Ferry Road Church during the years 1965-1987. Along side many 
other faithful servants, he worked to build a church which continues to impact 
many in a positive way for eternity.

Dub was proceeded in death by his loving parents, William DeLoach Sr and Clara 
Maples DeLoach, in addition to two sisters, Bobbie Marshall and Ruth DeLoach. He 
is survived by his faithful wife of 57 years, Nancy. He is also survived by his 
children and their families: Steve and Colleen DeLoach of Fayetteville, 
Arkansas; Roger and Rita DeLoach of Independence, Missouri; Derrell and Andrea 
DeLoach of Bushland, Texas; Jeff and Melissa DeLoach of Bella Vista, Arkansas 
and Kara and Charles Tabor of Winslow, Arkansas. Additionally, he is survived by 
15 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren in addition to numerous nieces, 
nephews and dear friends. The family is grateful to many who have served as 
lifelong friends; however, we are most especially and eternally grateful to the 
finest neighbors any one could ever hope for, Gerald and Vicki Harp.

Funeral arrangements will be conducted by the Beard Funeral Home in 
Fayetteville, Arkansas and the family will available for visitation at this 
location on Tuesday evening from 5-7 PM. Services will be held at the Mt Comfort 
Church of Christ in Fayetteville and led by Dr Jim White, a former ministry 
partner and dear friend. Services will be held on Wednesday June 4th at 10 AM. 
Following these services, Burial will occur at Memorial Park Cemetery in 
Muskogee, Oklahoma. Pallbearers will be his grandsons: Casey DeLoach, Matt 
DeLoach, Dustin DeLoach, Isaiah DeLoach, Joshua DeLoach, Riley DeLoach and Max 
DeLoach. Family and friends are encouraged to attend this celebration of a life 
will lived, one marked by service to the Lord. In lieu of flowers, the family 
asks that a memorial gift be made to Operation Guyana, a ministry operated by 
Stephen DeLoach.
