Arlis Dean Moore

He was a United States Navy Veteran. He worked as a machinist for RTW in Rogers for many years. After retirement he enjoyed watching westerns, especially John Wayne. He also spent many hours watching birds and counting cars that came by his home. He loved to fish, even though the grandchildren and his wife often out-fished him. He was an amateur geologist “rock hound.” He used to talk about his collection with visitors when he had a chance.

He was born with a Green Thumb and could grow anything. He enjoyed gardening and starting plants from seeds for others to grow and enjoy. He took great pride in his grape vines and shared starter vines with many.

He loved spending time and sharing his hobbies with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was a follower of Jesus Christ and loved to talk about the gospel with anyone he came across.

Arlis was preceded in death by his parents; his Honey of 58 years, Retha (Williams) Moore, who passed in May 2022; and his brother, Lewis Wade Moore.

He is survived by his daughters, Deborah Grigg and husband Mark and Connie Whitaker and husband Wade both of Rogers; sisters, Cherine Berg of Texas and Brenda Peoples of Arkansas; 5 grandchildren, Elisha Whitaker of Pea Ridge, William Hewitt of Rogers, Jennifer Wilson and Brandon of Cape Fair, MO, Robert Hewitt and Nicole Mestrovich of Garfield, and Nichole Whitaker of Bentonville; and 4 great-grandchildren, Kenzie of Rogers, Tegan, Riley and Easton of Pea Ridge.

A funeral service will be on Friday, July 29, 2022 at 2pm in Rollins Funeral Home Chapel.
