December 17, 1946 - February 6, 2026

Lonnie Clyde Hinkle, age 79 of Marshall, Arkansas passed from this earthly life on Friday, February 6th, 2026 at his home. He was born in Marshall, Arkansas on December 17th, 1946 to Clyde Monroe Hinkle and Tennie Lautricia Politte Hinkle. Lonnie married the love of his life, Shanna Rose Castleman on November 16th, 1968. He loved her until her last breath and until his last breath. They are now reunited in heaven.

Lonnie attended Marshall High School. He was drafted into the army during the Vietnam war at the age of 20. He received the National Defense Service Medal and Sharpshooter Rifle Badge M-14 during his time of service. After serving his two years, he went to Phoenix, Arizona to do iron work. He returned to Marshall where he farmed cattle and worked at Branscum and Harness Mill for over 35 years. When he was younger, he loved to hunt and camp at the river. As he got older, he loved to trade knives and never passed up a yard sale. His favorite saying was ''Well Howdy, Howdy'', followed by a hug. Lonnie was a Searcy Count Icon and could be seen out and about all over town. He was a frequent patron of Harps Grocery and the Senior Center and loved to visit with those he ran into. His friendly smile and encouraging talks will be greatly missed by our community, his family and friends. Lonnie was strong in his Christian faith and studied the Word daily. He will always be remembered for helping others.

Survivors include his son, Tim Hinkle of Marshall; daughter, Jeannie Casto (Shawn) of Chimes; grandsons, Austin Beavers (Amber), Braden Hinkle (Kristen), Hunter Casto (Kelsey) and Tucker Casto (Rayya); great-grandkids, Owen, Oliver, Kaisley, Charlotte and another great-granddaughter due in June; and many extended family and good friends.
