John DuWayne Key, 67, of Bentonville, AR passed away July 28, 2013 at Ashley Health and Rehab in Rogers, AR, where he received loving and compassionate care during his illness.
He was born May 12, 1946 in Rogers to John Key and Marcella Brower Key.
He graduated from Rogers High School on a Friday in 1964 and started working for Southwestern Bell on Monday where he retired after 38 years of ervice to the community. Chances are if you had a phone installed in the 60's and 70's, John installed it. He was known as the "telephone man." He was a friendly, outgoing person with many dear friends. He was also known for his joke telling and always had one ready when asked. He never met a stranger and always had a smile for you. That smile will be sorely missed.
He was preceded in death by his parents and one sister, Linda Key.
John is survived by his wife of 25 years, Gail Beaver Key; three sons, Leslie Key and wife, Alanna of Bella Vista, AR, Charles Key of Bentonville, Jason Bolton of Bentonville; two brothers, Jim Key of Fayetteville, AR, Bill Key and wife, Sherry of Rogers; two sisters, Vicky Key of Rogers, Elizabeth Suobank and husband, David of Rogers; eight grandchildren; and two great granddaughters.
A memorial service will be at 11:00AM, Saturday, August 10, 2013 at All Saints Episcopal Church, 406 West Central in Bentonville, with Pastor Roger Joslin officiating.
