Leslie Wayne Artripe

Leslie Wayne Artripe, 56, of Springdale, Ark., went to be with the Lord Sunday, June 1, 2014. He was born on Nov. 9, 1957, the son of the late Leslie Artripe, and survived by his mother, Jane Alderson. He is survived by his two daughters, Tara Krile and her husband, TR, Karye Birdsong and her husband, Bret; his son, Aaron Artripe and his wife, Megan; his four grandchildren, Adleigh and Austin Krile, and Parker and Reece Birdsong; his mother, Jane Alderson; stepmother, JoAnne Artripe; his two brothers, Jeff Artripe and Rick Artripe; and his two sisters, Shannon McDonald and Heather Artripe. Wayne loved his children and never missed an opportunity to share about them. He was a contractor, but in his spare time he loved fishing and was always searching for the next big crappie. He never met a stranger. He was an avid reader and enjoyed reading about the pioneer days. Wayne had a great love and respect for the Lord and took joy in sharing Jesus with others. Friends and relatives are invited to a visitation that will be held Thursday, June 5, 2014, from 5-6 p.m. at Township Baptist Church, 2400 E. Township St., in Fayetteville. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that any donations be made to Township Baptist Church. And Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with me in paradise." Luke 23:43
