of Murfreesboro, AR
January 18, 1949 - July 31, 2021
Roy Lynn Chaloner, 72, of Murfreesboro, AR, passed away on July 31, 2021. He was born January 18, 1949 in Little Rock, AR to John Thomas and Margie Mills Chaloner.
Roy was an avid Amateur Radio operator since the age of 16. The HAM radio community was a large part of his life where he met and developed life-long friendships all over the country. His latest hobby was homemade winemaking. He was a member of the Congo Masonic Lodge No. 743, and a member of North Fork Missionary Baptist Church in Paron, AR.
Roy served in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War before joining the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. Roy retired from the AGFC after 22 years of service in various roles including communications and education, but being a ''Possum Cop'' watching over the critters as a Game Warden was his passion. After retiring, Roy began his own alarm and security company, RC Alarms. He also served on the Arkansas Board of Private Investigators and Private Security for Governor Huckabee in addition to being one of the first concealed hand gun instructors in the state of Arkansas. He finished his working career for KBR in Afghanistan where he supported U.S. Troops on the base serving in the alarm and communications space.
He is preceded in death by his parents and brother Phillip Thomas Chaloner.
Roy is survived by his wife Patricia Nabors Chaloner of 42 years, son Kevin (Maggie), daughter Kimberly (Jake Horne), grandsons Cole & Benjamin Chaloner, and Jett Horne. He is also survived by his sister Liz Chaloner, and mother-in-law Elizabeth Nabors.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to North Fork Missionary Baptist Church 22160 AR- 9 Paron, AR 72122. Visitation will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday August 4, 2021 at North Fork Missionary Baptist Church with Funeral Services at 2:00 p.m..
The family requests those attending, please wear a mask or face covering.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Ms. Pat. Prayers for peace and comfort during this time. Roy was such a great friend. My children still talk about our vacation there in 2007. He made such a great impression on them to be thought of so many years later. You will be missed Commo1

Pat, I'm so sorry to hear of Roy's passing. We've been out of touch for so long and I had lost your phone number. But I still know how to get to the home over at the lake. I remember working with Roy on the tower.
Let me know if you need anything. I'm still at the same house and my number is 501-565-9185, which is now my cell. God bless you and the kids and their young'uns.

All of the ham radio operators in Arkansas as well as those he made contacts with over the years are very sad that we've lost a good friend. He was always a lot of fun, would help anyone with things they needed doing and all around very nice person. We will miss him at all of our events, especially at Mena. (( Bob - WB5BI ))

My dear friend Pat. Thinking of you and your family.
Until you are all together again at the Lord’s return I know your faith will carry you through.
