Paul Ray Nowlin Sr.

Paul Ray Nowlin Sr., 74, of Bee Branch, AR, passed away on November 1, 2025. He was born in Little Rock, AR on May 15, 1951, to the late, Paul and Myrtis Nowlin.

There was not a lot of Paul’s life that was not spent with his wife, Theresa. His hobbies and interests were always centered around his family and whatever they had going on or projects that grandma had for him to do. He loved camping and being outdoors with his kids and grandkids. Paul and Theresa were married for over 50 years, and they were the true definition of a fun-loving couple and together became the best parents to their boys. Later in life, he spent most of his time playing bingo or dancing the night away. The night of his passing, the family saw two rainbows side by side and the family knew it was Paul and Theresa’s sign that they were happily back together.

Paul was preceded by his parents; his wife, Theresa; siblings, Joyce Kerney, Lousie Wayman, and Kenneth Nowlin.

He is survived by his sons, Paul Nowlin Jr., Chris (Cendy) Nowlin, and Nathan (Rushay) Nowlin; grandchildren, Jacob (Justin) Arber, Corey Nowlin, Caleb Nowlin, Madi (Vince) Gates, Katie Alexander, Joselyn Nowlin, Draven Nowlin, Kylie (Cole) Oaks, Karlie Nowlin, Kody (Amber) Woodham, and Austin (Emily) Woodham; siblings, Rosie Wells and Glen Nowlin; and many other nieces and nephews.

There will be a memorial service held for Paul on Friday, November 7th at 2:00 pm, at Wilcox Family Funeral Home.
