Wesley Glynn Pinkerton
79, a resident of Lincoln, passed away Friday, July 24, 2020 in Prairie Grove. He was born March 26, 1941 in Abilene, Texas, the son of Donnelly Hughes "Billy" and Edith Marie (Huffman) Pinkerton.
Wes grew up in Dutch Mills, Arkansas and graduated from Lincoln High School. He served in the National Guard for six years. After marrying Shirley Conner in 1964, he resided in Lincoln where he and his twin brother, Les, started and co-owned Twins Auto Service and had the only wrecker service in the area at the time. He and his wife later became the owners and kept the shop open for 40 years, until his retirement in 2005. He was very respected and trusted in his trade. Besides being such a hardworking and dependable shop owner, Wes was very loyal and loved by his community, family, and friends. Wes enjoyed camping and fishing. He was an avid water skier in his younger years. He looked forward to hunting trips to Colorado with family and friends. He helped coach his son’s baseball teams, and since the arrival of his grandkids, he has attended numerous sporting events and grandkids’ activities. He had a unique smile and infectious laugh that brought joy to those around him. He will be greatly missed, but he will live in our hearts forever.
He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Don Pinkerton.
Survivors include his wife, of 55yrs Shirley Pinkerton; one son, Matthew Pinkerton and wife Briana; two grandchildren, Elise Pinkerton and Mattix Pinkerton; one brother, Lesley Pinkerton and wife Judy; one sister, Karen Spear and husband David; sister-in-law, Marilyn Pinkerton.

What a sweet, sweet man Wes was! I so enjoyed seeing him, which wasn’t that often. He had a great sense of humor and his love for Shirley was so evident. He will be missed but always remembered.

John 14:
[1] Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
[2] In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
[3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
[4] And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
[5] Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
[6] Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
