FAYETTEVILLE — Robert Walter Crouch,

70, passed away Nov. 12, 2020, at Washington Regional Hospital in Fayetteville, Ark. He was born March 11, 1950, at City Hospital in Fayetteville, and was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Virginia Crouch of Fayetteville.

Bob was a member of Mount Comfort Presbyterian Church, and enjoyed fellowship with its loving members. He attended the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.

Bob was a cattle broker who ran Crouch Cattle Company, with love and respect for all his many customers and their families. His father began teaching him how to buy cattle when he was 11 years old and it became his lifelong dream job.

He never met a stranger and always wanted to know as much about you and your life as he could. Bob loved being with his family, traveling, spending time talking with lifelong friends, lunching with his buddies, riding his motorcycle, enjoying Saturdays at the Fayetteville Farmers’ Market, and sitting with his sweet Springer Luke by his side.

Survivors include wife Rhonda Lawson Crouch; sister Marilyn Noland and brother-in-law Bob Noland of Atlanta, Ga.; sons Doug Crouch and daughter-in-law Cynthia of Nixa, Mo., and Paul Crouch and daughterin-law Krista of Fayetteville; daughters Sandra Edwards of Asheville, N.C., Stephanie Hutchinson of Fayetteville and Lindsey Geasland of Fort Worth, Texas.; nieces Taylor Noland and Mallory Subject and husband Michael; nephew Ryan Lawson and wife Katrina of Fayetteville; grandchildren Kaden, Parker and Carly Crouch, Jack and Knox Crouch, Andrew, Gage and Aidan St. Don, Jack, Hallie and Abby Hutchinson, Grayson, Lawson, Kinsey and Paxson Geasland; grandniece Payton Subject; uncles Frank and Sally Smith of Madera, Calif., and Gordon Smith of Broken Arrow, Okla.; aunt Patricia Brawner of Columbia, S.C.; and many loving cousins.
