Rand Darren Reynolds

RAND DARREN REYNOLDS was a loving husband, caring father and grandfather, good son and brother, and loyal friend. He left this world on June 20, 2022, at age 62. He was born in Bentonville, Arkansas to James Edward and Zona Louise Gore Reynolds on October 20, 1959.

Rand went peacefully into the Lord’s embrace surrounded by family after a lengthy battle with cancer. With a wandering soul and inquisitive mind, he had worked in several states, of which Colorado was his favorite. As well as his home state of Arkansas in which he was born and lived most of his life. He worked in various managerial positions for Walmart and Lowe’s over the years and most recently Fleet Electrical Services.

 At 15 years old, before he acquired his driver’s license, he learned to fly single engine airplanes. Aviation, Corvettes, science fiction, comics, and board games were his interests and hobbies along with being creative and building things from wood. As many of us marveled over his ability to just see things in his mind’s eye and know how to build something or know how something was made. He was always fascinated with how things worked.

 A perfect evening would involve his adoring wife, family members, a good steak, anything chocolate, and a game of Monopoly (long version). He enjoyed being with family, going to see movies, taking long drives with Cara, and watching Arkansas Razorbacks football, baseball and basketball. Of course, his family was the most important thing to him. Always the gentle and positive bear of a man who took care of his family first and foremost.

Rand was preceded in death by his mother, Zona Reynolds. He leaves his wife of 25 years, Cara Reynolds; his children, Ryan Reynolds, Megan Aitchison (David), and Jared Reynolds; two grandchildren, Kimber Aitchison and Nolan Aitchison; his father, James Reynolds; four siblings, Rick Reynolds (Teri), Rock Reynolds (Karen), Rhet Reynolds (Vikki), and Romy Williams (Rodney); three in-laws, C. W. Breeding (Sabrina), Jenilee Griffin (Tim), and Traci Breeding, as well as many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins, all of which loved him.

A funeral service is being held at Smith Westbrook Funeral Home at 404 W. Dewitt Henry Dr., Beebe, Arkansas on Saturday, July 2nd, 2022, at 2pm with visitation immediately following. In lieu of flowers, please donate to CARTI Foundation, Lupus Foundation of America, or St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
