James Dwight Kindred

James Dwight Kindred, 69, of Little Rock, Arkansas, died November 8th, 2022. He was born on May 21st, 1953, in Fort Worth, Texas, to James Alfred Kindred and Marietta Spurlock Kindred who both preceded him in death. He is survived by his loving friends who he considered his family and knew him as Dwight.

Dwight was a member of the Good Hope Christadelphian Ecclesia. He treasured the faith of Abraham. He awaits the return of Yeshua Messiah.

Dwight was a 1971 graduate of Lanier High School in Austin, Texas and a 2011 graduate of the University of Arkansas with a Bachelor’s degree in History with a concentration on the Middle East and a Religious Studies minor.

As a young man, Dwight enjoyed water skiing on Lake Austin, riding his motorcycle, and soaking up the sun’s rays. Dwight loved the Hebrew language and often did word studies in the Old Testament of the Bible. Dwight traveled to Israel in 2006 and enjoyed floating in the Dead Sea, touching the Western Wall, and hearing the sounds of spoken Hebrew in the streets of Jerusalem. Dwight was a giving and loving man. He will be missed by many friends.

If you would like to contribute to worthy causes in Dwight’s honor, we’d suggest the following:

Gentiva Hospice in Conway, AR. Gentiva’s staff were so helpful in Dwight’s final days - wonderful people.

IFB Solutions philanthropic arm. IFB (industries for the blind) was Dwight’s final employer, and they do such great work with the blind.

Achilles Track Club. Any location would work, or give to the overall foundation if you wish. They introduced Dwight and me to the “how-to” of blind running! We ran many a mile together, and I’m indebted to them for their wonderful mission.
