John Rauch Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Dial & Dudley Funeral Home - Bryant on Dec. 17, 2025.
John Alexander Rauch III was born on July 3, 1966, in Little Rock, Arkansas, to John A. Rauch Jr. and Carolyn Sue Kizzire. He was an only child and spent his early years growing up in Little Rock. John graduated from Park View High School, where he developed the values of hard work and responsibility that stayed with him throughout his life.

John was a hardworking man who took great pride in providing for his family. He was a loving, gentle, kind, and caring father, known for his strong work ethic and determination. If his family wanted or needed anything, John found a way to make it happen. He was a true go-getter and someone his family could always depend on.

John married the love of his life, Michelle, in 1989, and together they shared many years of life and family. They had two daughters, Samantha and Mercedies, whom John loved deeply and was proud to provide for.

John was preceded in death by his parents, John A. Rauch Jr. and Carolyn Sue Kizzire, and his grandson, Kenneth Oxford.

He is survived by his ex-wife, Michelle Short; his daughters, Samantha Webb (Travis), and Mercedies Rauch; his grandchildren, Boone Webb and Onyxx Webb; Tammey Buell Kannada; and extended family members and friends who will miss him deeply.

John enjoyed going to church, watching football games, riding around town, and spending time with his family. His faith was important to him, and he stood firmly for what he believed was right.

Though John will be deeply missed here on earth, his family finds peace in knowing he is now in paradise, waiting for the day they will be reunited with him again, surrounded by God's love and eternal peace.
