Patrick Kauffman

Patrick Charles Kauffman, 68, of Bryant died Tuesday November 14, 2017 at Baptist Medical Center in Little Rock. Born July 29, 1949 in Fordyce, he was the younger son of the late Jack Kauffman and Willa Lee Whatley Kauffman.
He was a graduate of Carthage High School, Henderson State University, and UAMS College of Pharmacy. He was the owner and operator of Medic Pharmacy in Bryant for 43 years. After retirement, he and his wife enjoyed many overseas trips.
In his younger days, Pat was a formidable ping-pong opponent. More recently, he enjoyed starting his day by meeting with a special group of coffee buddies. Hurricane Golf and Country Club, which he referred to as "daycare", was his next appointment of the day. Pat was an avid deer hunter. He loved to sit in his "hotel" deer stand waiting for his target to appear at 800 to 1000 yards so he could test his skills as a marksman. Although he enjoyed hunting on his own, hunting trips with his grandsons brought him the most joy.
Other than his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Joe Kauffman; nephew, Kyle Kauffman, niece, Lisa Talbert; and in-laws, Ed and Eula Talbert.
He is survived by his wife of nearly 51 years, Janie Talbert Kauffman of Bryant; two daughters, Carol Johnson and husband Kevin of Bryant, Cindy Coy and husband Stephen of Benton; five grandsons, Steven Johnson and wife Mary of Hensley, Mark Johnson of Springfield, MO, Wyatt Bussell of Benton, Owen Bussell of Benton, Gavin Coy of Benton; brother-in-law, Glen Edward Talbert of Sheridan; sister-in-law, Becky Kauffman of Fordyce; nephews, Kevin Kauffman of Fordyce, Shannon Talbert of Sheridan; niece, Kasey Langley of Fordyce; honorary family members, Chuck Bussell, Karla Higgins and Ryan Murphree.
The family will receive friends 9:00 a.m. Friday at Smith Family Funeral Home in Benton with funeral services following at 10:00 a.m. at the Funeral Home. Burial will follow at Hampton Springs Cemetery by Benton Funeral Home of Fordyce. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to the First Baptist Church Building Fund, P.O. Box 267, Bryant, AR 72022.
