On Saturday, May 27, 2023, Colton O’Neil Stults passed away at Arkansas Children’s Hospital at the young age of 17.
Colton loved as fiercely as he was loved. His passion for family, friends, God, and life itself was a shining example to all who knew him. Colton held a deep love for children, often befriending them and seeking to help them grow. Colton recognized his God-given gifts, and he had a great sense of humor and amazing creativity. He wanted to influence children’s lives further by becoming a physician and helping children at Arkansas Children’s Hospital.
Colton was constructing a firm educational foundation for his future through his academic success, evidenced by his ACT score of 33, ranking him in the 98th percentile of high school students nationwide. Those who knew Colton could attest that he demonstrated a quiet and humble confidence.
In the 6,387 days Colton lived on this earth, he demonstrated a brightness of spirit that only comes from God. Colton’s loving heart, ineffable character, and intellectual prowess will continue to serve as shining beacons of how life should be lived.
Colton was loved deeply by his parents, Tim and Kendra Stults, and his younger sister, Sarah Kate Stults. He was preceded in death by his grandfather Dewey Stults of Saltillo, MS.
