We are reaching out with a heavy heart to share the unexpected passing of, Jim "Smiley" Roark. Jim's sudden departure has left his family grappling with the emotional and financial challenges of arranging a fitting farewell for their beloved father.

As we mourn his loss, we want to come together to support the Roark family during this difficult time.

Unfortunately, Jim did not have an end-of-life plan in place, and the financial burden of arranging a funeral and memorial service has fallen on his grieving family. In light of this, we are seeking your help to raise funds that will go directly towards covering the funeral and memorial expenses.

Your contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful impact and provide solace to the Roark family as they navigate through this challenging period. We understand that times are tough for everyone, but any support you can offer will be deeply appreciated.

Donations can be made through this GoFundMe or directly to Arlington Funeral Home by calling [phone redacted].

The previously posted benefit hosted by The Shamrock on March 23rd is currently being post poned. Date and location are to be determined.

Let us come together to honor the memory of Jim "Smiley" Roark and ease the burden on his family during this heart-wrenching time. Your kindness and generosity will forever be remembered.

Thank you for your consideration and support.

Sincerely,

Smiley's Family and Friends
