Arron Coots

(From Ozark Memorial Park Crematory)

Arron Neal Coots was born on June 21, 1972, to Barbara and Ronnie Coots in the city of Independence, Missouri. He grew up alongside his older sister, Vanessa Coots, and pursued his dream to become the shoulder anyone and everyone could lean on. 

Throughout his life, Arron proudly fathered three children: he is survived by Paxton Stahl, Brayden Coots, and James Coots. Later, he became a loving and supportive stepfather to Maddi Forsythe, Avery Forsythe, and Bavin Barnett when he began dating Heather Tata in his mid-life years.

He enjoyed many things in life, and spending time with the people he loved and cared for the most was, above all, his favorite. Arron was known to be a fan of Star Wars, Steven King, and of course, the Kansas City Chiefs. 

There was never a point in his life where Arron felt alone, for he was a friendly man and excelled in finding good company wherever he went. Some say he never came across a stranger.

On Thursday morning, February 21, 2024, Arron peacefully passed away in his home at the age of 51 years old. He was surrounded by family the day before. He will be greatly missed by all, and the impact he so determinedly strived to make on the world will surely endure. He has touched hundreds of lives, taught many people about the principles of living, and led as well as provided his family with all he could and more.

Please attend Arron’s celebration of life and remembrance on March 2nd, 2024 at the Fir Road Christian Church, 6025 County Road 303, Carl Junction at noon. Feel free to represent Arron’s passions by wearing anything Star Wars, Marvel, or Kansas City Chiefs.
