Wayne Louis Kellar, born October 24, 1943, to Othal and Mae Kellar, died peacefully in his sleep September 25, 2025. He joins his parents, Othal and Mae, his brothers, Jay and Wilfred in the company of the Lord. He is survived by his loving wife Sandra of sixty-one years, their children, Jeffrey Kellar of Fayetteville and Sarah Cook and husband Tim Cook of Little Rock. Five grandchildren: Jackson, Harrison, and Rose Cook; Lucas and Gabriella Kellar.

Services are Sunday September 28, 2025, at 2pm at Brinkley First Baptist Church. Internment immediately following at Oaklawn Cemetery in Brinkley, Arkansas.

Wayne was born in Martinville, AR and his family moved to Cotton Plant when he was in the 3rd grade. At an early age he developed a strong work ethic even scooping ice cream at the age of seven to help support his family, chopping cotton before and after school, and bagging groceries in high school. In 1961 after graduating high school, he began dating Sandra Duncan. They were married in 1964 and lived in Ft. Worth until moving back to Brinkley in 1965. Sandra taught school and Wayne worked for his father-in-law, Garner, until striking out to farm in 1974 with his brother-in-law, Drury. He farmed for 43 years until his retirement in 2017. Wayne devoted the next eight years to his grandchildren and cheerfully (most of the time) the "to do list" Sandra compiled for him.

Wayne was baptized at the First Baptist Church, Brinkley after professing his faith in Jesus Christ. He was an active member there for forty-five years until he joined the body of believers in Heaven this past Thursday. He will be missed by all those who loved him.
