Kenneth Lee Hobson, age 86, of Texarkana, Arkansas, died Monday, December 30, 2024 in a local nursing center.

Mr. Hobson was born October 11, 1938 in Midway, Texas and was a retired truck driver.

Kenneth was his son's hero. He was the greatest father to his son Kenneth and his daughter in law Christine. He never met a stranger, he loved watching wrestling, and he enjoyed retirement. His "dog" was his favorite companion during these days. He was an owner/operator and had the Million Miles Safe Award. He grew up moonshining, saw milling, and truck driving. He was just a damn good man!

He was preceded in death by his parents, Sam and Eva Hobson.

He is survived by one son and daughter-in-law, Kenneth Ray Hobson and Christine Hobson of Texarkana, Arkansas; one brother, Melvin Hobson of Texarkana, Arkansas; one nephew, Bryant Alan McAdams of Texarkana, Arkansas, one niece, Heather Renee Nix of Holly Creek, Oklahoma and a number of other relatives.
