Bo, a cherished resident of the community, passed away after a life dedicated to his craft and family. On May 25, 1973, he became the very first employee for Malone’s Mechanical and was part of the inaugural jobs such as various projects, including the Morrell PA King and prominently, the Diamond Shamrock project. Bo was not just a skilled tradesman but also a great mentor to young apprentice plumbers, always ready to share a laugh or joke while imparting his wisdom.

He was a member of the Local 29 and that later changed to the Local 155, which gave him a total of 50 years in the BTJ Pipefitters Association. He exemplified commitment and passion in his work. Bo was the founder of A & B Pawn and Jewelry in Van Buren, Arkansas for 20 years.

Beyond his profession, Bo found joy in outdoor activities such as hunting and fishing, relishing time spent with his beloved family and grandchildren. He was also an enthusiastic NASCAR fan, eagerly cheering on his favorite drivers. Bo’s spirit and warmth will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

A graveside Celebration of Life to honor Bo will be 11:00 a.m., Saturday, November 28, 2026 at the Monroe Cemetery with Pastor Robert Jones officiating.
