James "Jim" Goebel, 75, of Pea Ridge Arkansas, passed away Wednesday, February 4, 2026, after a courageous battle with cancer. Jim was born September 13, 1950, in Bentonville, Arkansas, to the late Buck Emra Goebel and Barbara Jean Brown Goebel. After graduating from Rogers High School in 1968, he proudly went on to serve in The United States Navy. He welcomed his daughter Brandi Jo on March 24, 1977. He proudly owned and operated several businesses including several years at The Razorback Roller Rink and Brandi Jo Trucking. In addition to spending time with his family, Jim enjoyed driving eighteen wheelers, farming, fixing things, attending local functions in his community and supporting his grandchildren at all their functions. Jim had a talent of being able to go anywhere and find someone he knew. His family teased that he never knew a stranger. He was a role model for many and taught his family a standard of hard work that will be carried on for generations. He was one of the most loving people you will ever meet. He will be missed but never forgotten. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Marsha Rolle and his dog and best friend, Zip.

He is survived by his beloved daughter, Brandi Bonagurio of Pea Ridge; two grandchildren: Hunter (Kimberly) Low of Springfield, Missouri and Brayden Low of Johnson, Arkansas; one great grandchild, Bentley Low of Springfield, Missouri; his brother, Ross (Tutik) Goebel of Rogers, Arkansas and many beloved nieces and nephews.
