Graig Burton Lintz, lovingly known as “Teddy,” passed away in Fort Smith, Arkansas, on September 10, 2025, at the age of 63.
Graig was born on April 18, 1962, in Rosemead, California, to Barbara Jane LaBounty and Craig Delbert Lintz. He was a man of many talents and was often described as a “jack of all trades.” Graig had a passion for music and enjoyed attending concerts, as well as spending time at the slot machines. Above all, he will be remembered for his kind heart and the love he shared with his family and friends.
Graig gave his life to the Lord and was baptized on January 15, 2000, a commitment that brought him peace and strength throughout his life.
On April 3, 1998, Graig married the love of his life, Tammy Lynn Lintz, and together they built a beautiful life filled with love and cherished memories.
He is survived by his wife, Tammy Lynn Lintz; seven children, Christy Bolz of Arizona, Misty Lintz of Missouri, Rusty Lintz of New York, Nichole Lintz of New York, Graig Lintz Jr. of Arkansas, Makayla Lintz of Arkansas, and Kiley Lintz of Arkansas; seventeen grandchildren, Zachary, Leticia, Shye, Gage, Serenity, Brayden, Keegan, Layla, Casey, Rebecca, Quinton, Austin, Adabelle, Serenity, Dontae, and Grayson; and one great-grandchild, Veda.
