Benton

Joe Patrick O’Bryant, age 74 of Benton, Arkansas, passed away on Sunday, January 24, 2021 in Little Rock. He was born on January 10, 1947 to the late Mack and Pauline Owens O’Bryant.

Pat was a 1964 graduate of Nashville High School. He was a veteran of the Vietnam War while serving in the Navy as hospital corpsman. He owned and operated a grocery store in Old Washington for 14 years. He and his wife, Sue, owned and operated Flowers by Johnny until 2004 when they retired.

He loved to talk and tell stories about all the things he had done and places he had been. He was a good Christian man who loved to share God’s word with others. He also loved to pick at everyone and get them to pick back. He loved his family and spending time with them. He would talk about all the accomplishments each child and grandchild had made. He loved to watch baseball and several TV shows. He was a man who loved to study the Bible and talk about God. He taught classes at churches and was an ordained Deacon. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather that will be dearly missed, but we know he is not in pain and is with our heavenly father now. He loved the Lord and knew he would go home to be with Jesus when his life was over on this earth.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his stepfather Billy Garney and a grandson Ryan Sillavan.
