Anthony David Treat, 74, passed away peacefully at his home in Harriet, Arkansas, on February 27, 2025, with his loving wife by his side.

A man of deep faith, David worshipped at Wallula Christian Church while residing in Leavenworth and later at Big Flat Assembly of God upon returning to Arkansas. His life was a testament to his faith, especially during his courageous battle with cancer, always maintaining a spirit of giving and positivity. David found joy in making others laugh and was always ready to lend a helping hand.

He leaves behind a legacy of love and generosity, survived by his wife of 54 years, Dollie Treat; daughter, Crystal Mooney; niece, Edith Bland; granddaughters, Kayla Pryor, Amber Gardner, and Brandy Mooney; and six great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Anthony and Venitta Treat; brother, Anthony Joseph Treat; sister, Debra Beardshear; and son, Brandon Treat.
