John Efram Andrew Luna, 51, passed away on Saturday, June 8, 2024, after a very long fight with pain but very short diagnosis with metastatic pancreatic cancer. He was born in Greenville, Texas but grew up in Swink, Oklahoma, before making his final home in Northwest Arkansas.

After graduating with a degree in Computer Science, he started his career at Wal-Mart, Inc. kickstarting a 25-year career, where he eventually landed as a Senior Manager in Software Engineering with a team of approximately 15.

The many facets of John's personality are reflected in his interests, which were as broad as his shoulders! John loved being Papaw, spending time with friends and family, hunting, fishing, kayaking, travel, off-roading, pyrotechnics, and his giant horse-of-a-dog, Isabella. As John prioritized his faith, finding joy in life to share with others, and having a good laugh, the family asks that you do the same-go out and do something that brings you real joy and share it with those around you.

Waiting for him at the doors of Heaven were his dad, M. Glen Luna of Oklahoma, his first wife, Georgianna Luna of Oklahoma; and daughter, Tori Luna of Oklahoma.

John is survived by his wife, Shawnda Luna of Arkansas; son and significant other Cody Kopejtka and Becky Young; grandsons, Neal and Rayden; daughter and significant other Kasey Kopejtka and Mardel Hensley; granddaughter Ava; grandson, Rowan, (soon-to-be) grandson to be announced, granddaughter Iliana and grandson Elan; and daughter Cameron Kopejtka; granddaughter, Nova and (soon to be) grandson Orion, all of Arkansas; mother, Kay Luna; oldest brother and spouse, Glen and Rose Luna; brother and spouse, Curtis and Vickie Luna; sister, Sharia Bernard - all of Oklahoma; Numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and several brothers-in-heart, as he called them: Mike Wilkinson of California, Jonas Goodman of Arkansas, Justin Gabbard, Shannon Roberts and Travis Roberts, all of Arkansas and Drew McNatt of Missouri. along with a host of other friends, family and loved ones.

We would also like to acknowledge Washington Regional Hospital and Willard Walker Hospice Home and the wonderful nurses, doctors and staff that took such great care of John and helped make his transition as smooth as possible. John truly enjoyed speaking and visiting with all of you.
