Larry Thweatt Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Bowser Family Funeral Home - Mena on Feb. 23, 2024.
Larry Thweatt, age 64, of Mena, died Monday, February 19, 2024 at the St. Vincent Hospital in Hot Springs, Arkansas. He was born on Saturday, May 23, 1959 to Bobby and Mary Frances Thweatt in Escondido, California.
There was a stubborn streak to Larry that was unmistakable, and yet it was this very trait that often came to define his resilience and determination. He was also a man of immense kindness and generosity, his good heart a beacon that brought comfort to many. Among Larry's many talents, which ranged from woodworking to leatherworking, he was renowned for his skill in crafting intricate fishing lures. It was within the quietude of his workshop that he found solace, pouring his passion into each piece he crafted and often whispering life into blocks of wood or strips of leather. Larry's creations, each piece a testament to his careful craftsmanship and innate talent, have touched many lives - whether they were held in hand by a fisherman early in the morning or adorned the walls of someone's home as an emblem of beauty and artistry. His spirit will continue to live on through these pieces, a heartfelt reminder of the impact that one's passion and dedication can have on the world.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
He is survived by his brother, Ron Thweatt of Lake Havasu City, Arizona; two sisters and brother in law, Darlene Thweatt of San Marcus, California, and Cyndi and Kevin Beerbohm of Escondido, California; nephews and nieces, Sarah and Adam Calahan of Flagstaff, Arizona, Zach and Farren Thweatt of Surprise, Arizona, Christine Rojas of Vista, California, Austin Beerbohm of Escondido, California, and Trevor Beerbohm of Escondido, California; great nephews and nieces, Connor Calahan, Adison Calahan, and Olivia Calahan of Flagstaff, Arizona, and Elias Thweatt, Lilly Thweatt, and Amelia Thweatt of Surprise, Arizona; and a host of other relatives and friends.
No services are planned at this time. Larry will be laid to rest at the Bulger Cemetery in Potter, Arkansas. Cremation arrangements are entrusted to Bowser Family Funeral Home in Mena, Arkansas.
