Carl Dean Lockhart

68, of Hogeye, Arkansas, left this world on February 28, 2022 for his forever home. Known by so many as “Beanie”, Carl was born on February 24, 1954 to Kenneth (K.L.) Lockhart of Waynoka, Oklahoma and Juanita (Phillips) Lockhart of Prairie Grove, Arkansas.

At the age of 14, Carl began working for the Washington County Livestock Auction making it his career until it closed its doors in June 2009. He also had a taxidermy business that acquainted him with hunters and fisherman of the surrounding areas to mount their trophies. For the last several years and at the time of his passing, he co-owned and operated C&K Custom Lawn Service providing landscape services to many throughout Northwest Arkansas.

Carl had an infectious smile, kind personality, and was loved by all. From the moment you met him, you experienced his playful sense of humor, and he was the best at making light of most situations. He loved children almost as much as they loved him and he enjoyed exploring the farm with his grandkids. He was a father, a farmer, and a friend to so many.

He was preceded in death by his parents, K.L. and Juanita Lockhart, and a brother, Chester Lockhart.

Carl is survived by his dedicated partner of the home, Karen Starks and her children, Will Starks, wife Kat and their children Paige and Liam of Fayetteville, Arkansas, and Niki Pierce and her son Wyatt of Mansfield, Texas; his former wife, Karen Lockhart and their children, Randy Lockhart of Hogeye and Becky Sawyer, husband Jason, and their sons, Smith and Griffin, of Auburn, Alabama. He loved them all.

He is also survived by his brothers, Roger Lockhart of Van Buren and Charlie Lockhart of West Fork; and sisters Carol Hulse and Keneita Spencer both of Prairie Grove.

Visitation will take place at Luginbuel Funeral Home in Prairie Grove, Arkansas on Thursday, March 3, 2022 from 5:00 to 7:00pm. Graveside services are reserved for family at his final resting place in McDonald Cemetery, 12498 County Road 281, West Fork, Arkansas near his parents and overlooking the family farm.
