Jackie Allen "Jack" Lanham, 37, of Tull, Arkansas passed away suddenly at his home on February 15, 2024.  He was born on January 18, 1987 in Owensboro, Kentucky.

Jack loved the outdoors and being in nature.  He had a green thumb and enjoyed caring for his plants, but not as much as he loved caring for his patients.  He had a big heart full of compassion, which led him to a career as a nurse.  Jack loved the Lord, his family, and his friends and will be missed.  

Jack was preceded in death by his dad, Mark Allen Lanham; maternal grandparents:  Wanda and Pete Simmons; and cousin, Sheena Gibson.  

He is survived by his daughter, Karalyne Morgan Lanham, who was his pride and joy.  He is also survived by his mother, Carin Knapp (Von); sister, Heather Ratliff; and stepdad, Stacy DuVall (Sandi); as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.  

A visitation will be held from 5:00-7:00 PM, Tuesday, February 20, at Smith-Benton Funeral Home.  Funeral service, officiated by Rev. Kim Hammer, will be held at 10:00 AM, Wednesday, February 21, at Smith-Benton Funeral Home with burial following at Ebeneezer Cemetery in Tull, Arkansas.  

Services entrusted to Smith-Benton Funeral Home.  Online guestbook:  www.SmithFamilyCares.com.
