We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Payton Durham, who left this world on November 25, 2025, in Arkansas City, Arkansas.

Payton was born on May 6, 1952, to his loving parents William and Rebecca Durham. He married the love of his life, Mary, in the year 36, and together they raised three wonderful children: Ann, Darren, and Rebecca Ann.

Payton was a proud graduate of Mcgehee High School and served in the Navy, where he developed a strong sense of duty and loyalty.

Payton had many hobbies that brought him joy, including fishing, hunting, and spending time with his beloved family. He was always the life of the party, with a quick wit and infectious laughter that could brighten any room.

Payton leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter that will be cherished by his family and friends forever.

Rest in peace, Payton. You will be dearly missed.
