David Poole, 73, of Prescott went to be with the Lord after a lengthy illness Monday, December 30, 2024, at his home.

Mr. Poole was born October 16, 1951, in Hope, AR to Harold E. and Patricia Bryson Poole.  

David was baptized at a young age at First Pentecostal Church in Hope and a 1968 Hope High School graduate. He was a 1992 graduate of Texarkana College as a Registered Nurse. David worked as an RN at Southwest Arkansas Counseling and Mental Health and Medical Park Hospital. When he was younger, he enjoyed stock car racing in El Dorado with his brother. David had numerous interests such as fishing, watching the Dallas Cowboys or Arkansas Razorbacks play, he was a fan of NASCAR racing, and listened to Old Rock music. Reading Science fiction books was his passion, but sitting on the back porch and visiting with his family was his favorite past-time. He was a wonderful husband to his wife and father to his children.

David was preceded in death by his parents, his two brothers Michael Poole and Gary Poole, and a niece Shari Poole.

Survivors include his wife of 43 years Darlene Poole of Prescott; his son Joseph Tyler Poole of Prescott; his daughter Lindsay Brooke Poole of Lowell, AR; sister Theresa LaGrone (Dennis) of Hope; three nephews Mark Poole, Darren Harper and Dewayne Harper; niece Lorie Stricklin; and a host of great nieces and nephews.

The family wants to send special thanks to Jessica Beaver for her comfort and help with David.  A special thanks to the Baptist Hospice team for their upstanding care of David and their comforting presence to our family during this difficult time.   

Visitation will be held 5:00-8:00pm Thursday, January 2, 2025, at the Herndon-Fuqua Funeral Home Chapel in Hope.
