Justin Belford

Justin Wade Belford, age 64, entered Heaven on May 3, 2026. He was born on June 10, 1961, in Wynne, Arkansas, to Thomas Edward Belford and Rapha Jean (Hart) Belford. Justin dedicated 40 years of his life to working at Land ‘O Frost in Searcy, Arkansas, where he was known for his strong work ethic and commitment. He had recently retired, leaving behind a legacy of dedication and perseverance. A proud 1980 graduate of Searcy High School, Justin carried with him a lifetime of memories and friendships from his school days. Justin was a member of Revival Church in Searcy for many years, where he found community, strength, and spiritual fulfillment. His faith was an important part of his life and reflected in the kindness and compassion he showed to others. In his free time, Justin found great joy in thrifting, always on the lookout for a unique treasure. He was an avid collector, especially of clocks, knives, and chess sets, each piece holding a special place in his heart. He also had a deep appreciation for movies and was considered by many to be a true movie buff, often enjoying and sharing his favorite films with those around him. Above all, Justin will be remembered for his kind and loving spirit. He loved everyone unconditionally and had a way of making those around him feel valued and cared for. His presence brought comfort and warmth, and his generous heart left a lasting impression on all who knew him. Left to cherish his memory are his sisters: Lori Crawford and husband Kirk, Pamela Belford, and Gina Grabill and husband Jerry; his sisters-in-law, Sherry Belford and Brenda Belford; his aunts, Mary Moore, Rebecca Hart, and Freda “Tammie” Lowery; his best friend, Angie Raynor; and many nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and great-nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas Edward and Rapha Jean Belford, and his brothers, Bruce Belford and Thomas R. Belford. Justin’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him. His life was a testament to kindness, loyalty, and unconditional love, and he will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
