Donald Ray Fleeman

Donald Ray (Don) Fleeman of Paragould, age 86, passed away on April 7, 2021.
Don was born on February 17, 1935 in Leachville, Arkansas to Ruby and Carl Fleeman and had lived in Paragould since 1940. He graduated Greene County Tech in 1953 and worked at Earl Kirk John Deere 1953-1970, afterwards taking over Sandy Ridge, the family farm.

Don is survived by his wife Millie Maddox Fleeman, son Gary Don Fleeman and daughter in law Brigitte Fleeman of Reno, Nevada.

He is preceded in death by his parents Ruby and Carl Fleeman, brother Johnnie, sisters Mary Joyce Jones, Emma Jean Pattee and Betty Nell Imboden, his God-child Stacy Lynn Horne Camp, and his beloved furry buddy Clyda.

Burial services will be private.

Don loved his morning coffee-shop conversations, arguments and dear friends daily at the table for more than 60 years. Besides his love of music and farming he had a wonderful talent for mechanics. Nothing ran like a Deere that had been through Don’s hands.
