February 21, 1946 - February 1, 2026

Eddie Arnold Kimbriel passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on February 1, 2026. Eddie was born on February 21, 1946, in Oark, Arkansas to Volley and Hattie Kimbriel.

Eddie and his wife Paula were childhood friends but began dating in the fall of 1965. They got married shortly afterwards, on August 19, 1966. They welcomed their first son, Travis, eleven months later on July 16, 1967. The surprise of their lives came 20 years later when their second son, Jordon was born. They led full lives together for almost 60 years, being blessed with both grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Eddie enjoyed fishing, playing cornhole, watching the Razorbacks, bowling, and spending time with his family. He was a Christian and attended Hedgeway Church.

He was preceded in death by his parents, and siblings Mervin, Melvin, Joyce, Doy, and Dorthy Fay, Delores, Larry and Garry. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Paula Kimbriel, and his sons Travis (Lois) Kimbriel, and Jordon (Amanda) Kimbriel. His grandchildren Ashley (Zach) Cremer, Mackenzie (Brody) Wilhelms, Ellie and Bennett Kimbriel, his Great-Grandchildren Eli and Madi Cremer and Livi Kate Wilhems, along with numerous friends and family. While his family and friends will miss him deeply here on earth, we take comfort knowing he is now with Jesus.

Visitation will be from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, February 4, 2026, at Roller Cox Funeral Home Chapel. Funeral Service will be 10:00 a.m., Thursday, February 5, at Hedgeway Church with Pastor Don Alexander officiating. Burial will follow at the Oark Cemetery.
