of Benton, AR

October 1, 1948 - October 7, 2020

Gary Dewayne Caudle, 72, of Benton, unexpectedly passed into the loving arms of his Savior on Wednesday, October 7, 2020. He was born on October 1, 1948 in Little Rock to Robert Lee and Anna Louise Anderson Caudle.

Gary was a selfless man who was loved by many. He earned a bachelor's degree from Harding University and went on to further his education by receiving his Master of Science in Applied Mathematics from The University of Arkansas. He was an active and faithful member of Northside Church of Christ, where he previously served as a Shepherd, and also at Barrow Road Church of Christ when he attended there. Gary enjoyed his time outdoors, especially camping and gardening. All who knew him would say he was an amazing example of care and compassion as a husband, father, and Pawpo. He will be missed but his memory will be cherished and his legacy will continue on through those who loved and cared for him.

''Remembering you is easy, I do it every day; missing you is the heartache that never goes away.''

He was preceded in death by his father, and an infant brother, Jerry Caudle.

Gary is survived by his sweetheart of 52 years, Maude E. Caudle; his daughters, Rebecca Sipes, Melissa Baxley and her husband, Russ, and Ashley Clancy and her husband, Shane; his mother, Louise Caudle; his best friends and greatest admirers who called him ''Pawpo,'' his grandchildren, Laney Sipes, Jaggar Baxley, Marlee Baxley, Harley Clancy, Turner Clancy, Cash Clancy, and Sawyer Clancy, and many other extended family members and friends.

The family expresses a ''thank you'' to the staff of CHI St. Vincent Heart Clinic for taking care of their Pawpo during his final moments.
