Charlie O Neice Jr., 42, of Mena, Arkansas passed from this life on Friday, September 27, 2024, leaving behind a trail of memories. Known for being a bit rough around the edges, Charlie was a true mama’s boy who always had a surprise up his sleeve. Charlie was born October 1, 1981 to Charlie O Neice Sr. and Atha (Leathers) Kephart in Shawnee, Oklahoma.
With a wacky sense of humor, Charlie loved to pester his loved ones with his funny voices and jokes. He had a big heart, always lending a helping hand to those in need. When he wasn’t cracking jokes, Charlie could be found jamming out to country tunes and headbanging to Metallica. One of his favorite pastimes was cruising down back roads and getting down and dirty with some good old-fashioned mudding. A hard worker through and through, in recent years Charlie enjoyed working with his hands doing carpentry alongside several uplifting co-workers who became friends.
Charlie will be dearly missed by his wife Sharon Neice of Waldron, Arkansas; his son Dominic Jones of Waldron, Arkansas; daughter Cheyenne Neice of Altus, Arkansas; step-son; Billy Singleton of Waldron, Arkansas; two step-daughters: Julia Slater and Whitney Singleton of South Carolina; and one grandson Jaxson Jones. Charlie is also survived by his mother Atha Kephart of Waldron, Arkansas and four sisters: Daisy Sims and Tylor of Waldron, Arkansas; Atha Alvarez and Carlos of Magnolia, Texas; Rosie Perez of Waldron, Arkansas; and Violet Sanchez and Santos of Waldron, Arkansas. He had several nieces and nephews as well. Charlie will be missed by all that knew him and the memories they have of a man who brought laughter and joy to so many.
Charlie was preceded in death by his father: Charlie O Neice Sr., and his grandparents: J.W. Leathers and Mary Leathers.
A family celebration of life memorial will take place in the days to come.
Cremation arrangements are being entrusted to the Heritage Memorial Funeral Home in Waldron, Arkansas.
