Mr. Jack Adam Kinkade, age 84, of Mena passed away peacefully Tuesday, October 11, 2016 in Mena, Arkansas.
Jack was born in Arapahoe County, Colorado on November 3, 1931 to Bill E. Kinkade and Grace E. Koepke Kinkade. Celebrating almost 63 years, Jack and Johnnie Faye Martin Kinkade were married on November 26, 1953. He made many friends as salesman for Otasco for 27 years, but Jack would have told you 28 years! Jack loved his Savior first and foremost, as well as his family, and his church family. Because of Jack’s faith in Jesus Christ, he is now breathing peacefully in the presence of God.
Jack enjoyed watching his grandchildren and great-grandchildren play ball. One of the things he was most proud of was how his daughters became the strong women they are today. He also enjoyed woodworking and building with his hands, and enjoyed watching the Razorbacks and gardening.
He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend to all. He will be dearly missed.
He is survived by wife, Johnnie Faye Kinkade of Mena; daughters, Kathy Rusert and husband Jerry and Colleen Rosson and husband Terry; grandchildren, Jonathan Rosson and wife Sondra, Dusty Rusert and wife Samantha, Christine Frady and husband Jearl, Toby Hollin and husband Eric; great-grandchildren, Deanna Frady, Heather Frady, Kensey Rosson, Kaison Rosson, Shelby Rusert, Cody Jack Rusert, Kooper Hollin, and soon to be Kashlyn Hollin; sister, Doris Philpot; and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents Bill and Grace Kinkade, and brother Jim Kinkade.
Funeral service will be Thursday, October 13, 2016, 10:00 a.m. at Beasley Wood Chapel with Brother Steve Bradley and Brother Stokes Herod officiating. Interment will follow in the Cherry Hill Cemetery under the direction of the Beasley Wood Funeral Home of Mena.
Pallbearers will be Jonathan Rosson, Dusty Rusert, Jearl Frady, Eric Hollin, Scott Kinkade, and Phillip Kinkade.

So very sorry for your loss.
I remember Jack well, and Jim, too, and had several conversations with Johnnie Faye when I was Ms. Grace’s home health nurse years and years ago. Such a wonderful family, Ms. Grace was one of my favorite patients. Condolences and blessings to all.
