Guy "Pete" Jerry Calhoun
April 12, 1932 - April 27, 2024
Guy ''Pete'' Calhoun died peacefully on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at Belleview Estates where he had been a resident since 2023. He was born on April 12, 1932, to Rob and Maggie Calhoun. He married Ila Mae Fullbright on October 17, 1957. They were married until her death in 2010.
He served in the US Army and was a retired carpenter. He and his business partners built many homes across the state until his retirement. Even after retirement, he helped build two homes for his daughter and son-in-law. He loved to hunt and fish with his nephews and his friends until his health no longer allowed it.
He was raised in Star City and lived there until he moved to Monticello in 2011. In 2022, he moved to Grand Manor and later moved to Belleview Estates when his health further declined. He attended Rose Hill Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
In addition to his parents and wife, he was also preceded in death by fourteen brothers and sisters and many nieces and nephews. He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Gay and Grant Pace of Monticello; his grandson, Brice Pace; and great-granddaughter, Rosy of North Little Rock.
The family would like to thank the staff of Grand Manor for the transition of moving to assisted living and to the staff of Belleview Estates and Dr. Jim Carmical for taking such good care of him during the last year of his life.
