Robert “Rob” Brandon Merryman, 32, of Little Rock, passed away June 16, 2021.  He was born January 30, 1989, in Little Rock to Robert Dewain and Connie (Sehika) Merryman.

Rob loved the Lord and drew closer to Him this past year.  He was very artistic, creative, and talented in many ways.  Rob’s lifelong love was magic.  He dreamed of being a magician since he was in elementary school.  It was there, that he performed his first trick, levitating in front of his teacher who could not believe her eyes.  Despite pleas from his teachers and family, Rob never revealed his secrets.  Rob was a talented musician who played the electric guitar in the band “Furiea”.  His colorful personality was displayed when Rob took up the art of Fire Spinning.  He was so creative that he designed and created his own LED and Fire Spinning staffs and devices needed to put on an incredible display.  Rob’s artistic talents were also made known in his creative air brush paintings.  His family cherishes the pieces of art he made for them.  Family was incredibly special to Rob, and he enjoyed helping them as well as his friends in any way needed.  Rob had a huge heart and loved with all he had.

Preceding Rob in death are his father, Robert Dewain Merryman; sister, Kelly Wagner; grandfathers:  Eugene Sehika and Dewayne Merryman; grandmother, Velma Ledbetter; and aunt, Darlene Sehika.
