Ross Kendrick Obituary

Visit the Smith Family Funeral Homes - North Little Rock website to view the full obituary.

Ross Allen Kendrick, 36, of Little Rock, Arkansas, gave Jesus a high five and stepped into his forever home on September 27, 2025.

Ross loved wholeheartedly. He laughed out loud, gave of himself to others in recovery, loved kids, animals, and older folks, and truly never met a stranger. Charming, charismatic, and humble (most days), Ross carried joy wherever he went. He had a servant’s heart, a gentle spirit, and a great love for his family and friends.

Ross adored his wife, Lindsey (and her gray hairs), and loved his children, Jaxen, Adelynn, and Emery. He cherished his parents, Robert and Denise; his brother, Kyle. His niece, Taelor (Jimmy), and their daughter, Ellie; and his nephews, Kade and Kyler and their mother Shannon. He loved all of his extended family and friends, and he found great joy serving with his recovery brothers in Christ.

Please come honor Ross’s life on Saturday, October 4, 2025, at New Life Church, 8000 Crystal Hill Road, North Little Rock, AR 72118. Visitation begins at 2:00 PM, followed by the service at 3:00 PM.

We invite you to come as you are, cherish the memories of Ross, share laughter and love, and glorify Jesus—just as Ross would have wanted.

“He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” – Revelation 21:4
