Donnie Noles

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Donnie Charles Noles Jr., age 50, of Pocahontas, Arkansas, who left this world on September 15, 2025. Born on March 26, 1975, in Pocahontas, Arkansas, Donnie lived a life characterized by kindness, generosity, and a deep commitment to family and community.

Donnie was a proud father to his beloved son, Demetris (Katlyn) Noles, and a devoted husband to his spouse, Heather Noles. He cherished his role as a grandfather to Dason, Kaiden, and Drake Noles, whose lives he enriched with his unwavering love and guidance. His spirit will also be carried forth by his mother, Kathy Reed, his parents, Tom and Nanette Anspach; his siblings: sisters Tahnee (Lynn) Beason, Ericka Sargent, and Rita; brothers Brad Anspach, Jeremy Noles, and Darren Reed; as well as his nieces and nephews: Taylin, Tambrey, Savannah, Brandon, and Austyn, who adored him.

Donnie was preceded in death by his father, Donnie Noles, Sr.; his brother, Thomas Anspach; his grandfather, Richard Bundschuh; and his beloved puppy, Charlee Noles.

A butcher by profession, Donnie worked with great dedication at Kerr's Country Mart, where his friendly demeanor and willingness to help others shone brightly. He was a man who touched the lives of many, always ready to lend a hand, whether by mentoring kids in need of guidance or helping neighbors with yard work without hesitation. His affectionate nature extended even to the young men on his son's football team, many of whom still fondly refer to him as "dad."

Donnie possessed an unparalleled talent for fixing and building things, whether it involved gas engines, woodworking, or any project that someone might bring him-all completed without a thought of charging a dime. A lover of music and garage sales, he found joy in life's simple pleasures, and those who knew him cherished his laughter and warm presence.

Family and friends will have an opportunity to pay their respects and celebrate Donnie's life at a public visitation to be held at Heath Funeral Home on Friday, September 19, 2025, from 2:00- 4:00 PM. All who knew him are invited to share their memories and honor the legacy of a man who exemplified kindness and generosity at every turn.

Though he may be gone, the impact of Donnie Charles Noles' life will resonate through the hearts of all who were privileged to know him. His compassion, strength, and unwavering spirit will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
