Honoring the Life and Service of Pastor Don Hutchings
Today, we mourn the loss of Pastor Don Hutchings, a man who dedicated his life to serving others—through his faith, his leadership in the community, and his many years as a Chaplain for the Fort Smith Police Department.
Pastor Don walked alongside our officers and our citizens through some of the hardest moments life can bring. Chaplaincy is not an easy calling—it requires deep empathy, emotional strength and maturity, and the ability to provide comfort in times of grief, loss, and uncertainty. He carried that weight without hesitation, offering a steady presence to those who needed it most.
He understood the emotional toll of the job, but he also understood the impact of his presence. Whether he was consoling a grieving family, standing beside an officer in a moment of crisis, or simply offering a kind word, Pastor Don was a source of strength and compassion to all who knew him, a man who made family wherever he went.
His legacy of service, both to this department and to the city he loved, will not be forgotten. Our thoughts are with his earthly family, his spiritual family, and the countless lives he touched along the way.
Rest in peace, Pastor Don. Thank you for your years of dedication, for your kindness, and for always being there when we needed you.
