Joseph "Joe" Berton Hindman

  Joseph Berton Hindman, 64, of Sherwood, Arkansas, passed away Friday January 31st, 2025, at his home.

 Joe was born January 9th ,1961 to R.L. and Lillie O'Neal Hindman in Little Rock, Arkansas.

 Joe graduated from Sylvan Hills High School in 1979. His carpentry experience began under his father's instruction that carried him through his career from hanging gutters with Tommy Garrett, to commercial construction with Pizza Hut, until he went into business for himself; Hindman Construction, which included framing, restoration, and remodeling. Throughout his 20 plus year career, he built hundreds of homes in Central Arkansas with his "unique" crew. His crew had a way of keeping him on his toes; the best stories always concluded with personalized nick names for the main characters. These stories will continue to be retold and laughed at for years to come. 

 Founding member of the Bottoms Up Deer Camp; where he, his family, and friends enjoyed the outdoors. It's where they created and shared memories (some more "stretched" than others). These times were some of his happiest, and how we know he will want to be thought of when we think of Joe and his life.

 Remaining to cherish Joe's memory are his wife Bea Barre' Hindman of 18 years, daughter Jennifer (Eric) Sutterfield, his stepchildren; Rachael (Scott) Moritz, Kelli Couch, and Kevin (Skylar) Couch; by his sisters Karen Malmquist, Sharon (Leon) Wheeler, Bunny (Bill Driggers) Barron, Peggy (Robert) Cotton, Melodie (Mike) May, Mickey (Stanley) Conrad. Numerous nieces, nephews, and good friends.
