of Marshall, AR

August 6, 1947 - April 26, 2021

Clark Bentley Massey, age 73 of Marshall, Arkansas went to be with the Lord on Monday, April 26th, 2021 at UAMS in Little Rock, Arkansas. He was born in Marshall, Arkansas on August 6th, 1947 to Herman Massey and Pearl Maxey Massey.

Bentley grew up in the Campbell area of Searcy County and attended school in Leslie, graduating in 1965. He was a United States Army Veteran and served from 1966 until 1968 in Vietnam. He married Bethel Ragland on September 3rd, 1971. Bentley worked for many years building homes, first with his father-in-law, Arvel Ragland, and later with his brother-in-law, Jeff Ragland. Never one to sit still for too long, when he wasn't busy building homes, he was working on the farm, tending his garden, hunting and doing everything he could to help others in need. He served as a Sunday school teacher and deacon at the Marshall Assembly of God and he devoted countless hours to studying the Word and preparing lessons. Bentley loved his family dearly and becoming a "Poppy" to his grandson, Landry, brought him so much joy. He loved taking Landry fishing and on 4-wheeler rides, and he never missed an event or performance at Landry's school.

Survivors include his loving wife of 49 years, Bethel Massey of the home; sons, Heath Massey of Marshall and Brandon Massey and wife Stacy of Bentonville; one very special grandson, Landry Jack Massey; two honorary grandsons, Gabin Amichaud of France and Bela Gellert of Germany; and many other extended family and friends who will mourn his passing.

Visitation will be 10:00 till 11:00 AM preceding the service. Burial will be at Red Hill Cemetery. Bearers will be Larry Steve Johns, Philip Turner, Jason Baker, Jack Treat, L.J.
