Rufus Andrew Mcdaniel Jr.

Rufus Andrew Mc Daniel Jr. went home to be with his Lord and Savior on July 31, 2021, after a short battle with cancer. Jr. was born to Rufus Mc Daniel and Magdalene Lowe on December 23, 1940, and was later adopted by his grandparents Wille Mae and Bud Mc Daniel. Jr. worked in the construction industry from the age of 15, supervising as well as building several commercial buildings, and churches in the region. In 1983 he moved his family to Waco, Texas where he started his own business Consolidated Construction Incorporated. While in Texas, Jr. also collaborated with many other contractors in the surrounding area including Pearsons Construction. In the late nineties he moved his family back to Arkansas, and continued the work he loved once again in the Northeast Arkansas area.  In 2009 Jr. joined Phillips Investments where he was employed up until his death. He is survived by Glenda, his wife of 58 years, daughter Crystal (Mike) Armstrong, grandchildren Brigette Schwartz, Heidi Schwartz, Abby Armstrong, Chase Armstrong, his beloved dog Daisy Mae, and many great aunts, uncles, cousins, and beloved friends; and a memorial service at Valley View Church of Christ date to be determined at a later time, the services will be officiated by Spencer Furby and David Gibson. In lieu of flowers the family welcomes donations to Valley View Church of Christ, the building he constructed, and where Jr. worshipped as a faithful member.
