Thomas Winston "Tom" Stone

Thomas Winston “Tom” Stone, 81, of Perryville, Arkansas, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, October 2, 2025. He was born August 24, 1944, in Houston, Arkansas, to the late Clyde Winston and Margarette Virginia “Hales” Stone. After finishing high school, Tom built houses on the West Coast. Later, moving to Arkansas, he worked for Winrock Homes and several local contractors. In later years, he got his residential contractor license and built many homes in Perry County. Tom loved the outdoors. He was an avid hunter and fisherman. In his early years, he could catch more fish than anyone around. One of his daily hobbies that he enjoyed was taking care of his chickens. Larry the rooster was his prized possession. However, his favorite thing of all to do was ministering for the Lord. For many years, he led men’s meetings and prayed for numerous people at Lake Hamilton Bible Camp. It did not matter whether he was in restaurants, hospitals, churches, lumber yards, or malls; you got to hear about God and he usually ended up praying for you. He also enjoyed marrying and praying for couples at the Haskell Work Force Center, and he was dedicated to his church family at Forte Reach Ministries in Hattieville, Arkansas. He is survived by his wife, Dianne “Kittler” Stone of Perryville; two sons, Eric (Jamie) Stone of Randolph, Texas and Jacob (Jaime) Garrett of Vilonia, Arkansas; two daughters, Olivia (Joey) McDonough of Leonard, Texas and Amy (Rick) Wyles of Conway, Arkansas; twelve grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. Other than his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Lettie Clyde “Stone” Bachar. Funeral services will be at 10:00 a.m. Monday, October 6, at the Harris Chapel in Morrilton with Bro. John Chapman and Bro. Sam Clark officiating. Burial will be at Hope Cemetery in Perryville by Harris Funeral Home of Morrilton. Visitation will be one hour before the service, at the funeral home.
