Lance Reynolds

Graveside service for Lance "Bud" Reynolds, 98, of Cleburne, Texas, former longtime El Dorado, Arkansas resident, will be conducted at 1:00 P.M., Saturday, July 19, 2014 in Arlington Memorial Park in El Dorado. The Reverend Tom Whitworth will officiate.

Lance Levere Reynolds passed away Wednesday, July 16, 2014 in Cleburne, Texas after a full life. He was born October 28, 1915 in Murfreesboro, Arkansas to Homer Penson and Mandy Fulsom Reynolds. He married Ellen King on July 8, 1935 in El Dorado, Arkansas and she preceded him in death on January 26, 2009.

Lance survived The Great Depression by picking fruit and sending money home the same way he survived WWII as an Aviation Metalsmith Second Class in the United States Navy: with much determination. He was a retired Master Welder and local union leader. Lance was also a conservationist, helping to reintroduce red fox and white-tailed deer into the area. As an avid "hound man," he won regional field trials and started a local deer club, now 70 years old. He was a member of the First Christian Church in El Dorado, Arkansas.

Lance is now survived by a family who deeply loved him, including his son, Don Reynolds and wife Elizabeth of Cleburne, Texas, grandchildren, Philip G. Reynolds Piper and wife Jenny of Salem, Illinois, Brian Reynolds Piper of Salem, Illinois, Jason E. Reynolds and wife Ashley of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, and Todd C. Reynolds and wife Ashley of Corinth, Texas; daughter-in-law, Verna Reynolds Piper of Salem, Illinois; great grandchildren, Micah Lance Piper, Jessica Piper, Lily Elizabeth Reynolds, Sydney Grace Reynolds, Abby Kate Reynolds, Bryson C. Reynolds, and Logan W. Reynolds; siblings, Juanice Girard, Jackie Liles and Bill K. Reynolds; several nieces and nephews and a host of other relatives and friends. He was also preceded in death by his parents; a son, Philip K. Reynolds; and siblings, Pat Reynolds and Betty Hall.
