Mr. Mark Steven South, lovingly known as Steve, of Wynne, Arkansas, departed this life on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, at St. Bernard’s Regional Medical Center in Jonesboro, at the age of 60.

Born in Wynne on February 27, 1965, Steve was the son of Jerry and Martha (Fowler) South. A lifelong resident of the area, Steve was known for his adventurous spirit, strong work ethic, and deep love for his family.

From an early age, Steve developed a passion for machinery and the outdoors. He began his working life at Morgan’s Peach Orchards and later served many years as a diesel mechanic with the Arkansas Department of Transportation. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish and operate South Material, where he specialized in dirt and gravel work. He also remained involved in farming and heavy equipment operation—work he took great pride in.

Outside of work, Steve’s interests were just as dynamic. He loved race cars, off-road rides in his side-by-side, and sharing good times with friends and family. He attended New Life Baptist Church and was widely known for his generosity, steady presence, and the loyalty he showed to those he cared about.

Steve is survived by his devoted wife, Chaun; his children, Bear (Jolie) and Chandle (Jarod); grandchildren, Marlee (Brett), Colby, Jaelee, and Gage; and great-grandchildren, Beau and Mack. He is also survived by his parents, Jerry and Martha; brother, Kerry (Tammie); sister, Gena; nephews, Erik and C**t (Ashley); niece, Magan (Shane); and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family who cherished him deeply.

Steve’s legacy lives on through the many lives he touched, the laughter he brought, and the stories that will be shared for generations to come.

Friends may visit Saturday, August 30, 2025, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. at Thompson-Wilson Funeral Home in Wynne. A funeral service will follow at 2:00 p.m. with Bro. Glenn South officiating. Interment will follow at Loughridge Cemetery near C**t.

Those honored to serve as pallbearers are Bart Fowler, Brett King, Marlee King, Colby Meadows, Gage Rice, Jaelee Rice, Erik South, and C**t Stricklin. Honorary pallbearers are Ben Fowler, Billy Fowler, Randal Harris, Danny Snow, and Darren Wilson.

Memorial contributions may be made in Steve’s honor to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.

Arrangements entrusted to Thompson-Wilson Funeral Home of Wynne.

She is survived by her son Brooks, parents Tommy and Tammy Watlington, sister Kayla Watlington, nephew Jaxon Watlington and grandfather Johnny Callahan, all of the home, sister Bethanie Phillips (JP Phillips), nephew Warren and niece Edith of Jonesboro, grandparents Ginger and Ernest Howton of C**t, Tommy Cooper of Wynne, the father of her only child, and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

A celebration of Ashley’s life will be held on August 28th at 1:00 P.M. with a visitation one hour prior to the service at Oak Hill Church of God with Bro. Kendall Pettus (1-870-317-4835) officiating and Rev. Hunter Osborne will be assisting. Friends and loved ones are invited to gather, share memories, and honor her beautiful life.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to The Oak Hill Church of God Monday Night Outreach.

Though her time here was far too short, Ashley’s love and spirit will live on in the hearts of her son, family, and friends
