Jimmy “Jim” Winkler of Peel, Arkansas passed away on Tuesday, April 18th, 2023, at his home.  Jim is survived by wife, Alyce of 42 year; son, Chad (Crystal) Winkler of Bryant, Arkansas; daughter, Kelly Winkler (Austin) Sikes of Peel, Arkansas; five grandchildren, Justin (Ivy) Rogers, Madison (Jacob) Plunkett, Brittany Rogers, Dalton Winkler, and Angel Rogers and fiancé Chase; six great grandchildren, Paisley, Hagen, Dean, Kainen, Kylee, and Jase; two great grandchildren that he was patiently waiting to meet, Ace and Raylen; two brothers, Floyd (Linda) Winkler of Conway and Howard (Rose) Winkler of Quitman; nieces and nephews Lori, James, Naomi, Peggy, Holly, Lisa, and Monte; and a host of great nieces, nephews, and friends that will miss him dearly.

Jim is preceded in death by his parents, Frank Winkler and Ola Winkler (Ernest) Speer; brothers: Frankie and Maurice, and his son, Ron Allen Winkler.

Jim was an avid hunter, and his hunting stories were as large and grand as he was.  He loved fishing and was an amazing fishing guide, even if the only thing we caught were more of his stories.  Jim adored his children, Ron, Chad, and Kelly, they were his life.  When he started becoming a grandfather, his chest stuck out a little more with each one. Of course, their given names were not quite good enough for him, so he had to give each their own nickname from Pawpaw.   

A Celebration of lLife  will be held April 20th, 2023 - 6 to 8 pm at the Lead Hill Baptist Church.
