John Anthony Undernehr, 52, passed away on March 27, 2025. Born on November 30, 1972, John was a man who filled every room with laughter and warmth. His quick wit and easygoing nature made him a friend to many, and his love for life was evident in every story he told, and every mile he drove.
A dedicated truck driver, John spent his life on the open road, a career that not only defined his work ethic, but also reflected his adventurous spirit. Whether behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler or surrounded by friends and family, John found joy in the journey.
He was preceded in death by his beloved sister, Jeannie Rusher, and his loving parents, Floyd Undernehr and Brenda-Sue Newton.
John’s legacy lives on through his five cherished children, each of whom carries a part of his humor, strength, and kindness: Kenneth Undernehr of Siloam Springs, AR; Justin Undernehr and wife Hollie Reed of Centerton, AR; Nicholas Undernehr and his loving companion Logan LeGrand of Rogers, AR; Brandon Undernehr and wife Alexis of Lightning Ridge Community, along with their daughter; and his youngest, Aaliyah Undernehr of Siloam Springs, AR. He is also survived by his devoted life partner, Denise McWilliams of Siloam Springs, AR; his brother, Neil Undernehr and wife Jennifer ; as well as many nieces, nephews, and friends who were as close as family.
A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, April 2nd, at 2 p.m., with burial to follow at Walnut Hill Cemetery in Garfield, AR.
John will be deeply missed but forever remembered by those who had the privilege of knowing and loving him. His laughter, kindness, and unwavering love for his family will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
