Herman Thomas Bargay Jr. (lovingly known as Tommy) has left us behind for the wide open lakes beyond on February 26, 2023, his body succumbing to ongoing medical issues. He first graced this earth on April 13, 1965, by our loving mother, Ella Faye Crow & father, Herman Thomas Bargay Sr.; who have preceded him in death.

Tommy was a gentle soul and a generous man who never met a stranger. After graduating, he spent seven years in the Army National Guard to serve our country. He then came home to begin his family and life of hard labor. He worked hard, played hard, and loved unconditionally. His family and friends knew he loved them; of that, he made sure. He was a comedian by nature and a confidant & leaning rock by heart. He gave all he had and expected nothing in return. He was our rock, our hero, our inspiration. His number was on many a person's speed dial. He was just the one to call for ANYTHING. He loved spending time with T.J., going to monster truck rallies or whatever suited their fancy at that moment. He had the most amazing passion for fishing and restoring vehicles & motorcycles in his free time. His accomplishments and achievements far exceed many who have lived a full life. Tommy will be missed beyond measures and imprinted in our hearts forever.

He was preceded in death by his loving niece, Tasha Renae Bargay.

Tommy has left behind the light of his life; his son, Herman Thomas Bargay Ill (lovingly known as T.J);  his brother, John Eugene Bargay & sister in law, Mary Notestine of Bella Vista, Arkansas; his sister, Brenda Kaye Bargay Lonadier & brother in law, Bill Lonadier of Compton, Arkansas. Although not by birth, Rowland Goode of Hiwasse, AR, had Tommy's utmost respect & admiration and had been adorned as brother. Marissa Nicole Reagh of Compton, AR, Randy Wayne Reagh Jr. of Tulsa, OK, Kelsy Harvison, and Jerri Grace Notestine, of Rogers, AR will greatly miss their uncle, Tommy. As will his great nieces and nephews, Yvonne, Triston, Avery, and Teagan. He is also survived by uncles, Truman Bargay and Norman Crow and many cousins.

Arrangements are being made by the Bella Vista Funeral Home and Crematory. Online condolences can be left at www.funeralmation.com.
