Stacy Dwayne Earnest, 47, of Hampton, Arkansas died Monday, December 23, 2019. He was born May 5, 1972 in Fordyce.

To know Stacy, “Vern” or the happily promoted “Papa Vern”, was to know a man of hard-work, integrity, fun, love, laughter, and happiness. He enjoyed many things: visiting with family and friends, fishing, hunting, good music, playing cards, sharing life’s stories, and gravel roads just to name a few. He always saw the glass as half-full and had a knack for bringing light to serious situations. He never met a stranger and had many, many friends. Visitation will be Friday December 27, 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at Benton Funeral Home in Hampton. Funeral services will be 2:00 p.m. Saturday at Hampton First Assembly of God with Rev.
