John Serrette Obituary
John Charles "Sarge" Serrette, age 62, of Russellville, entered Heaven on Saturday, December 20, 2025, at Conway Regional Medical Center in Conway. John was born on July 26, 1963, in Chicago, IL, to Bob and Lorraine (Bracik) Serrette.
John served 8 years in the army, in the 2nd Armored Division, as a tank commander; 25 years with the Russellville Police Department, and as a hospice chaplain. After retirement from the police department, John worked as a logger.
John was the founder of the Wild Pigs police motorcycle club; founder of the local Blood Brothers Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club, founder and coach of the Russellville Police Boxing Club; and founder and coach of the Serrette Boxing Club.
John's hobbies included being a ham radio operator (K5ZU), bow hunting, fishing and playing bass guitar.
In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his mother-in-law, Sandra Jones.
He is survived by his "Three Girls", including his wife of 35 years, Michelle (Jones) Serrette of Russellville; two daughters, Megan (Eddie) Alejandro of Pottsville and Jenny Serrette of Dover; a brother, Robert Serrette of Dover; three grandchildren, Rylee and Landon Serrette and Marcel Alejandro; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Ray and Lorine Jones of Knoxville; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Robert and Sherri Seward of Dover; and his constant companion and best friend, his chihuahua, Nacho.
John will be remembered as a loving, caring, and protective husband, father and grandfather, "The Rock of The Family". Whether it was going outside during storms, yelling at tornadoes to scare them away when his children were scared, leaving love notes around the house for his wife, or making sure that none of them ever went without. John always took care of and loved his "Three Girls".
