Lyle Wayne Niederbrach

Lyle Wayne Niederbrach, 60, went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, March

11, 2026. He was born on June 19, 1965 in Osceola, Arkansas and was a 1983

graduate of Blytheville High School.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of thirty-two years Machele Denise

Niederbrach of Blytheville, his sweet mother Nancy Sharon Niederbrach, his feisty

granny Edith Niederbrach and his pawpaw Arnold Niederbrach.

Lyle is survived by daughter Ashley Nichole Angel; grandchildren Aiden, Kylie

and Leland; sisters-in-law Monica Gunkel of Gosnell and Shawna Katz of Little

Rock; cousins Darrell White, Patricia Holland, Mickie Coram, Wanda Aldrich,

Catherine White and Maryann Niederbrach; and a host of friends that loved him

like a brother including Carol Henry, Ricky Mask, “Uncle Nute” Sheppard,

Tommy Wilbanks, Tobe Akins, Jeffrey Smith Akins, Rick and Linda Hamilton,

Debra Orr and Jerome Elliott.

Lyle never met a stranger and was always ready with a joke or a funny story every

time he saw you. He loved fishing, singing and he especially loved barbequing

meats and feeding everyone he could. He was kind and generous and would do

anything within his power to help people. His life was one of service to his family,

friends and community. Periods of employment included Manager of the Dogwood

Community Water Association and serving students at the Gosnell School District.

But his work helping others extended to serving with the Blytheville Emergency

Squad when he was younger, serving as pastor for multiple churches, driving

school buses and telling everyone about his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 2 p.m. on Monday, March 23, 2026 at

the Ruddle Road Church of God in Blytheville. Pastor Danny Pankey and Rev.

Tobe Akins will be officiating. Everyone is invited to come and celebrate the life

well lived by our friend
