Harrisburg- Robert Eugene Rieathbaum, 69, passed from this life on October 10, 2025, after battling aggressive brain cancer, noted four months ago. All glory to God, Robert gave his heart to Jesus in a moment of tender prayer while in the hospital.

He is survived by his daughter Jennifer, mother of his two granddaughters and two grandsons of Rome, GA; daughter April of Rome, GA; son, Robert Jacob Rieathbaum, father of Aiden, Jordyn, Addyson, and Maverick of Harrisburg; sisters: Cathie Winkler (Charles) of Jacksonville, Barbara Simpson (Ralph) of Trumann, Bobbie Bellah (Robert) of Trumann, Pamela Jo Miller (Richard) of Danville, Illinois; brothers: James Rieathbaum of Conway, Daniel Rieathbaum of Trumann, and Brandon Reeves, father to Jon Cody Reeves recently deceased.

Robert’s life was celebrated in a memorial visitation and service at Harrisburg Community Center, Sunday October 12, 2025.
