of Little Rock, AR

May 6, 1929 - March 3, 2024

Maynard R. Cheuvront, 94, passed away early in the morning on March 3, 2024 leaving family and friends who will cherish his memory. He was born in Lincoln, Nebraska on May 6, 1929. He was preceded in death by his parents (Ted and Ruby Cheuvront) and brother, Ted Arnold Cheuvront; his wife of 63 years, JoAnn Cheuvront; a son, Bruce and granddaughter, Danaea.

Maynard and JoAnn married in 1949, he graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1951 with a civil engineering degree and immediately went to work for Standard (Amoco) Oil. His work as a project engineer and maintenance manager took the family all over the country and provided opportunities to live in and explore many states.

Maynard was a committed believer and raised his children to live by faith in Christ as well. Wherever their travels took them, becoming involved with their local congregation was their highest priority. Over the years he helped build three church buildings, led many Bible studies, taught several Sunday School classes and served on various finance teams.

He retired when he was 57 (he often commented that he had been retired longer than he had worked for Amoco!) and then he and JoAnn took advantage of that second chapter of their life together by pouring themselves into many other endeavors: RVing to visit kids and grandkids, cruising throughout the world with friends and family, entrepreneurial work at his son's Little Rock coffee shop and constant volunteer work with many churches.

Maynard and JoAnn moved to Parkway Village in Little Rock in 2004 and he loved organizing activities for the residents such as Wii bowling tournaments, golf cart parades, card games and various other tournaments. His skillful woodworking projects, as well as his high level of ''fix-it'' skills, were shared with many neighbors and friends, along with many varieties of cookies.

Maynard had a great sense of humor and a mischievously playful side there was often a gleam in his eye and a wonderful lighthearted joy to what he was saying or hearing.

He enjoyed an amazingly full and rich life, though not one free from tragedy, suffering and challenge. However, through all the difficult times, he modeled faithfulness to the Lord, steadfastness, joy and good humor. He will be missed by family and friends alike.

Maynard is survived by 2 sons and daughters-in-law, David and Teresa (Indianapolis, IN); Roger and Terrie (Little Rock, AR); a daughter and son-in-law, Nancy and David Woolard (Winston-Salem, NC); 5 grandchildren and their spouses, 14 great grandchildren and 3 great great-grandchildren.

Memorial service will be 2:00 P.M. Thursday, March 7, 2024 at Commons at Parkway Village, 14300 Chenal Parkway, Little Rock, Arkansas.
