Lennis Dan Oxford, 83, of Rogers, passed away October 4, 2018, at his home surrounded by family after a long, brave battle with cancer. Lenny was born February 26, 1935, in Kingston to C.L. "Lum" and Audry Bowen Oxford. He was a veteran of the US Army serving in Germany and married Donna Knee, in Rogers, on September 3, 1971. They recently celebrated their 47th wedding anniversary. Together, they were the parents of two children, Eric and Darla. Lenny spent a majority of his life doing what he loved, farming. He raised chickens for George's Inc. for 25 years and got a lot of enjoyment from his herd of cattle. He loved to travel, a good conversation with friends, Fox News and a big bowl of ice cream, but his biggest joy in life was his kids and grandkids. He never missed a birthday party, school function or one of their sporting events when he was able to go. He was a hard worker and a loyal friend and will be missed by many who knew and loved him. Lenny was predeceased by his parents, and one brother, William "Buzz" Oxford.
