September 11, 1957 - June 18, 2022
Bennie James Loftin, 64, passed away June 18, 2022 in Mountain Home after a short bout with inoperable brain cancer. He was born on September 11, 1957 in Harrison, Arkansas to the late Clyde and Linda (Oliger) Loftin. Bennie married Marsha in July of 2006 where they spent their time building a life together.
Bennie was known for being the man with few words, but when he spoke you could rely on his word and a good belly laugh. Prior to his retirement, Bennie spent most of his career as a long-haul truck driver, heavy equipment operator and working alongside his wife at the family business, Twin Lakes Packing. He was quite the outdoorsman, where he enjoyed hunting, fishing, riding and breaking horses and captaining on his pontoon boat. When not enjoying the outdoors, Bennie could be found watching old westerns, sharing his love for them with his grandsons. He will be remembered as the family's "Master Griller", because he never failed at cooking a delicious meal. Bennie was a jack of all trades and wore many hats throughout his life. He was a proud husband, father, grandfather and cherished his time spent with his family.
Bennie is survived by his wife, Marsha Burk; Daughters, Christin Cantwell and Caitlin McDoulett (Ryan); Stepdaughters, Amanda Smith (Jeff) and Ali Swarthout (Trey) and seven grandchildren, Olivia Dunn, Gage Smith, McKenna and Sloane Collins, Londyn Powell and Grady and Hudson Swarthout; two sisters, Terry Reeves and Brenda Nichols, and one brother, Bobby Loftin. He is also survived by a slew of cousins, nieces, nephews and countless good friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents and stepdaughter, Aubrey Williams.
A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.
