Quinton David Ledbetter, 76, of Fordyce died Thursday March 4, 2021 at Baptist Medical Center in Little Rock. Born November 6, 1944 at Botkinburg, AR, he was a son of the late Clarence Ruel Ledbetter and Elma Gertrude Emerson Ledbetter.
He was the owner and operator of Ledbetter Construction. Accomplished in business, he knew the true meaning of success was the love he had for his wife and family. He had a passion for gospel music. His beautiful tenor voice could be heard leading the church in song. He played many instruments. Year ago, it would be no surprise to catch him playing the upright bass with his friends or a tuba in the National Guard Band.
He was preceded in death by his parents; a brother, Ruel Ledbetter; and a sister, Maxine Shuffield. He is survived by his wife, Dianne Shrum Ledbetter of Fordyce, son, David Ledbetter and his wife, Cari of Fordyce; two daughters, Rochelle Ledbetter of Little rock and Kim Ledbetter of Little Rock; two brothers, John Ledbetter of Kimberly, ID and Ben Ledbetter of Twin Falls, ID; a sister, Alice Ticer and husband, Glen of Harrison; seven grandchildren, Tyler Ledbetter of Dewey, OK, Quinton Ledbetter of Hot Springs, Zoe Ledbetter of Fordyce, Bailey Brandon of Little Rock, Bethany Burton, Brodie Nance and Pete Nance of Fordyce; three great-grandchildren, Liam Ledbetter, Avery Ledbetter, and Kason Ledbetter.
