JOEY RAY CHRISTIAN, age 56, of Little Rock passed away on Nov. 6, 2010 at Hospice Home Care in Little Rock. He was born in Little Rock on July 31, 1954 to Raymond and Marjorie Davis Christian. He was a heavy equipment operator who loved the outdoors, making and fixing things, and had a fascination for weather. He was particularly fond of the time spent working in the Ozark mountains of northwest Arkansas. "Mr. Fix-it" helped family members in many areas.
