Biography: John Millard Meadors of Little Rock Arkansas passed away peacefully on November 15, 2025 at Circle Of Life - Springdale. He was born in Little Rock, AR on March 12, 1939.

John attended the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville and graduated with a degree from State Teachers College, (UCA), in Conway AR. He spent over 60 years as a respected and highly successful commercial insurance producer. Starting with his Sigma Alpha Epsilon pledge class, John developed an amazing crew of friends for golf and duck hunting that he remained close to throughout his life.

Later in life, John became involved with Alcoholics Anonymous leading to a new and productive chapter with his family and was a mentor to several recovering friends.

John was an outgoing people person and loved initiating and maintaining long lasting relationships with coworkers, clients, friends and vacationing with family and friends in Aspen, Colorado and Loud Dunes in Miramar Beach Florida. John later developed a deep friendship with Margaret Amps who helped him enjoy life and cared for him in his final years.

John was preceded in death by his parents AJ and Ruth Meadors, beloved wife of 61 years, Joyce, his son, Mark, and his brother Allan. He is survived by his sister, Mary Dean Mainord (Jim) his son John Meadors (Amber), and daughter in law Michele Meadors. He had six grandchildren:

Maggie Rosenheck (Ben), Claire Reed (Chad), Summer Pauling (Hunter), Ethan, Mabry, and Elizabeth Meadors. He was also fortunate to see the birth of five great-grandchildren: Henry, Barrett, and Margot Rosenheck as well as Eloise and Daphne Reed.

Although flowers are welcome, the family requests donations to Cosmopolitan Group of Arkansas Central Office of Alcoholics Anonymous, arkansascentraloffice.org or by mail, Arkansas Central Office 7509 Cantrell Rd, Suite 106 Little Rock, AR 72207 or to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Arkansas Upsilon Chapter Foundation.

I am so sorry Mr. John is gone! What a prince of a gentleman! My dog 'Ceci' and I passed his house every day on our evening walks. Mr. John, and before she died, Mrs. Joyce were always so friendly and joyful. He was always upbeat and positive which made for a refreshing break in our walk. He will be missed.

My deepest sympathy to the Meadors family. I had lunch with John not to long after Joyce's death.
We were the closest in age of all our cousins, the list is getting shorter.
Our mother's were closest in age of all their brother and sisters.
Alma Edwards Roth and Ruth Dean Edwards Meadors.
