Calvin Odell Eubanks

Calvin Odell Eubanks, age 68, passed away on February 19, 2026 in Fort Smith, Arkansas. He was born on June 11, 1957 in Spiro, Oklahoma to Lonnie and Alberta (Shoate) Eubanks.

Calvin married Grace Lavern (Jones) Eubanks on May 24, 2023, beginning a chapter of life that brought him great joy and companionship. In his free time, he enjoyed watching baseball and basketball, spending peaceful hours fishing, and firing up the grill for family barbecues. More than anything, however, Calvin cherished time spent with his family and friends, creating memories filled with laughter and love.

A man of the Baptist faith, Calvin carried his beliefs with quiet strength and sincerity. He will be remembered for his quick wit, his contagious laughter, and his remarkable ability to light up a room the moment he walked in.
