of Clinton, AR
July 23, 1934 - April 19, 2016
J.W. ''Dub'' Treece went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, April 19, 2016 at the age of 81. He was born on July 23, 1934 in Pee Dee, Arkansas to the late Buell Lonzo Treece and Susie Glenna Treece. He was the oldest of 11 children and had to quit school in the 8th grade to start working in the logging business with his dad to help support the family. Later he joined the U.S. Army where he served his country in Korea. He safely returned home to Arkansas and married the love of his life Charlene (Wilson) Treece.
Dub then started a construction company known as ''Treece Construction'' which, he built from the bottom up into a successful family business, later known as Clinton Ready Mix and T & T Materials. There he proudly worked along with his two sons; John and Todd, building highways in the state of Arkansas. Dub was one of the founding board members of the First National Bank in Clinton, Arkansas. He was a phenomenal father, grandfather, entrepreneur, friend, veteran, and the hardest working man we have ever known.
Dub was dearly loved by his family. He is survived by his two sons; John Douglas Treece and his wife Kim (Robinson) Treece of Clinton, Todd William Treece and his wife Jenny (Boone) Treece of Clinton. He is also survived by his grandchildren whom he treasured: John Hunter Treece, Hayden Nixon Treece, Hallie Charlene Treece, Hadley Jo Treece and soon to be born Hazel Jane Treece. His siblings; Virginia Higgins of Clinton, Wendell Treece of Greers Ferry, Monna Love of Clinton, Lonnie ''Buck'' of Clinton, Lou Dewberry of Edgemont, Linda Treece of Greenbrier, Wencie Carroll of Conway. He was preceded in death by Billy C. Treece, Veldon Treece and Patricia Treece.

NO VOLUMEOF WORDS I COULD EXPRESS TO YOUR FAMILY CAN FILL THE VOID THAT IS LEFT BY DUB'S PASSING. THE TIME WE SPEND WITH OUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES IS SO VERY OFTEN TAKEN FOR GRANTED BUT THE MEMORIES MADE AND THE LOVE WE SHARED ARE MORE DEAR AND MORE OFTEN REMEMBERED THAN ANYTHING THAT CAN PURCHASED. EACH PERSON HAS AN IMPACT ON OTHERS. I THINK I AM RIGHT WHEN I SAY THAT DUB HAD A POSITIVE IMPACT, ESPECIALLY ON ME.
