September 7, 1961 - December 31, 2025

Michael ''Mike'' Leaton, age 64, of Conway, Arkansas, passed away on December 31, 2025.

Mike was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, and friend whose life was marked by hard work and a deep love for his family. He spent more than 40 years building a respected career in the print and mail industry, where he was known for his dedication and reliability. Mike believed in doing things the right way and took great pride in providing for those he loved.

Outside of work, Mike had a gift for fixing just about anything. Whether it was a car, a mower, or home improvement project, he was always ready to lend his skills. Music brought him joy, especially country music, and he loved singing karaoke with family and friends. He was an avid fan of thoroughbred horseracing and a lifelong supporter of the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals. Some of his happiest moments were spent on the lake, surrounded by those he loved most.

Above all else, Mike cherished his family. He was a loving husband to Kim Leaton and a devoted father to his children Justin and Jessica. He was also a proud grandfather to Bennett, Amelia, Owen, and Aspen, and his love and presence will be deeply missed.

Mike is survived by the love of his life, Kim; his children, Justin Leaton (Amber) of Benton, Arkansas, and Jessica Hutchison (Johnny) of Greenbrier, Arkansas; his parents, Ruth and Roger Leaton of Springhill, Kansas; his sister, Kelly Meigs (Michael) Kansas City, Missouri; his brother, Christopher Leaton (Jennifer) of Springhill, Kansas; his four grandchildren; along with many nieces, nephews, and extended family.

Mike will be remembered for his steady presence and the love he shared with everyone who knew him. His life was one of purpose, connection, and devotion to the people he loved. He will forever remain in the hearts of his family and those blessed to know him.

There will be a visitation held on January 9th, 2026, at Roller-McNutt Funeral Home in Conway, Arkansas, starting at 2:00pm, followed by a 3:00pm memorial service.
