Hayden Grant Phipps

Hayden Grant Phipps, 21, of Fouke, Arkansas, passed away unexpectedly on December 13, 2024. His death leaves a hole in our hearts that words cannot describe. He was a smart young man full of promise and creativity, and he left us far too soon.

Hayden was born on December 2, 2003, to Michael and Lorilyn Phipps. Hayden had a passion for drawing, music, playing video games, technology, and he loved taking things apart to figure out how they worked. He enjoyed the simple things in life. His absence leaves an emptiness that we will carry forever. We will cherish his memory and hold him in our hearts for eternity.

Hayden was a 2021 graduate of Fouke High School, where he was a member of the band. After high school, he attended the University of Central Arkansas, pursuing a career in Computer Science.

Hayden is survived by his mother, Lorilyn Phipps of Texarkana; his father, Michael Phipps; his stepmother Diann Phipps, both of Fouke; his siblings, Lance, Cameron, and Dawson; his stepbrother Jacob Ray and stepsister Chelsea Lary. He leaves behind his grandparents Eugene and Lisa Powell of Bloomburg and Dorothy Phipps of Fouke, as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who loved him more than life.

Psalms 73:26 “My flesh and heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”

Visitation will be 1-2 Thursday, December 26, 2024 at East Memorial Chapel Downtown, 602 Olive Street, Texarkana, TX, with a funeral service to follow at 2 pm in the East Funeral Home Chapel.
