Michael James Haughton, 71, of Mountainburg, passed away Wednesday, February 19, 2025 in Fort Smith. He was born August 6, 1953 in Vankleek Hill, Ontario, Canada to the late James and Una (Bangs) Haughton. He was a consultant for Caterpillar; a pick-up man at the rodeos; and he loved his family.
His life spanned 25,735 days, spanning six continents and countless places in between. He flew over 10 million miles, crossing deserts, mountains, and jungles. Though he traveled the world, his heart was always set on one destination – home. Today, he is finally home. And in the end, he went out with his boots on.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Billy Haughton.
He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Sherry Findley Haughton of the home; three sons, J.D. Haughton and wife Kelsey of Epping, ND, Justin Haughton and wife Rachael of Alma, and Jared Haughton and wife Andrea of Kibler; two sisters, Anne Haughton of Vancouver, British Columbia and Willa Haughton (Russ Cuggy) of Manotick, Ontario; and six grandchildren, Lacey Haughton, Leah Tally, Michael Haughton, Sonnie Tally, Hudson Haughton, and Hayes Haughton.
