Kluck Dewayne Barymon, 68, of Mammoth Spring, Arkansas, passed away on August 8, 2026, in Salem, Arkansas. Kluck was born on August 9, 1957, in Hayti, Missouri, to Don and Sarah Barymon. On November 4, 1977, in Thayer, Missouri, Kluck married the love of his life, Joyce Vaughn. Kluck and Joyce spent 48 years together, and in those years they had two children: Randy Barymon, and Tonya Crass.
Kluck was known as the “Mayor of the Bayou” to many around town, as he spent his day riding around in his golf cart and sitting on the riverbank. He enthusiastically watched his grandkids play all their sports. Kluck also enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, and hanging out with his beloved dogs.
Kluck is survived by his loving wife, Joyce Barymon, of Mammoth Spring, Arkansas; his son, Randy (Deanna) Barymon, of Bono, Arkansas; his daughter, Tonya (Eric) Crass, of Thayer, Missouri; his grandchildren, Cameron Johann, Chase Powell, Sieanna Wilcox, Grayson Barymon, and Chloe Crass; his great-granddaughter Coraline Powell; his mother, Sarah Barymon; his sisters, Mary (David) White, and Ladonna (Jim) Waller; his many nieces, nephews, and cousins; and his dogs, Ginger, Auggie, and Sassy.
Kluck is preceded in death by his father, Don Barymon; his brother, Randall Barymon, and his sister, Hope Barymon.
Kluck’s greatest joy was the love he shared with Joyce, his family, and his grandchildren, and his kind heart, familiar smile, and larger-than-life presence will be deeply missed by all who were blessed to know and love him.
A Visitation will be on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at the Carter Funeral Home Chapel, at 1:00 p.m. until the Funeral Service begins at 2:00 p.m.

I worked with Kluck at Warren’s IGA and later at Town and Country back in the late seventies until the mid eighties. He was one of the best and kindest people I have known. I know he loved Joyce more than anything as he told me that many times before they were ever married! He will be missed dearly! I am sure he is watching from above and is in GOD”S embrace! I will miss you man!
