David Allen Kimberling, beloved father of Brandi and Allen Kimberling, passed away on Friday, May 30th, 2025. He was born on November 27th, 1971, in Bradford, Ar.
Allen Kimberling earned a degree for machinist and tool and die making. He was a "jack-of-all-trades" and never found anything he couldn't fix. He mainly focused on being an auto body mechanic and restored old cars. He worked in construction but was an entrepreneur with Kimberling Auto Sales. He was passionate about the outdoors as well as his family. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and going to his grandsons' trap shoot meets and baseball games.
He is survived by his mother, Florene Kimberling (Bryant); his fiancée, Terra Dunn; his two children, Brandi and Allen Kimberling; his two grandchildren, Aidyn Watkins and Cash Kimberling; his sister, Dawn Steele (Kimberling); his nieces and nephews, Jessica Kimberling, Zachary Kimberling, Lauren Kimberling, Jacob Kimberling, and Brantley Steele; his great-nephew, Liam Kimberling; his great-nieces, Isabella Kimberling, Rosaleigh Clark, and Riley Kimberling; and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his father, David Roy Kimberling; his two grandmothers, Mabel Bryant (Ransom) and Annie Mae Kimberling; his two grandfathers, Oran "Buster" Bryant and George Kimberling; and a brother-in-law, David Steele.
Allen Kimberling was a loving father and a devoted grandfather.
His family will forever cherish the memories of his laughter, pranks, wisdom, and unwavering support. He will be deeply
missed by all who knew him.
A Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, June 5th at 1p.m. at Crossroads Church of Christ with Bro. Llano Robinson officiating. Visitation will precede the service from 12pm-1pm. Those honored to serve as pallbearers are Allen Kimberling, Zach Kimberling, Michael Bryant, Lance Staude, Greg Siler and Randy Sherril. Interment will immediately follow at Smith Cemetery, Bradford, Arkansas.
