Otey was a hard worker and always had a helping hand to anyone in need. He was a member of the Light of Glory Full Gospel Church where he served as a deacon for many years. God and family were the most important wants in his life; to strive to be a more Godly man and to be the best husband and father he could. Otey enjoyed the outdoors, playing billiards, and watching his Dallas Cowboys. Otey worked on the Mena Police Force for some years and was a manager for TCA and Cox Communications for 20 years. He was very proud of his career. Otey was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
