Austin Daniel Wayne Hoover

July 22, 2003 — September 17, 2020

Austin Daniel Wayne Hoover, age 17, of Glenwood, passed away on Thursday, September 17, 2020.

He was born on July 22, 2003, in Mena, the son of Christopher Kevin Hoover, Sr. and Crystal Lane May. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Danny May.

He loved to listen to rap music and create his own rap songs to share with his friends. Austin was a wonderful son, grandson, brother and friend, who was more like the “big brother”, always looking after everyone and trying to take care of the ones he loved and his friends. He will always be remembered by his goofy grin and huge heart. One of his greatest loves in his life was for his best friend, his dog, “Folks”, who went with Austin pretty much everywhere he would go.

He is survived by his father, Chris Hoover, Sr. of Glenwood; his mother, Crystal May of Mena; three brothers, Nathan Hoover of Mena, Christopher Hoover, Jr. of Fort Smith and Jordan Leigh Dodds of Mena; two sisters, Katelyn Hoover of Glenwood and Arayah Wharton of Mena; his paternal grandparents, Rodney and Karen Stout of Glenwood; his maternal grandmothers, Lisa Caldwell of Missouri and Cindy Hale of Mena; his paternal great-grandparents, Wayne and Barbara Irons of Dumas; his maternal great-grandparents, Joe and Zula Hale of Cherry Hill; and several aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members and a host of wonderful friends.
