Brent “Bundy” Krakau Obituary | Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

Brent “Bundy” Krakau, 57, of Bentonville, Ark., passed away peacefully at home on December 14, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. He was born on August 6, 1968, in Euclid, Ohio, and carried Ohio in his heart throughout his life.
Bundy lived with energy, loyalty, and joy, loving deeply and fully.
He was the beloved husband of Stephanie Krakau, with whom he shared 30 years of marriage; the proud father of Lauren (DJ) Pittman and Mason Krakau; and the devoted Papa of Aella and Jolan Pittman.
Bundy grew up in Ohio, attending St. Joseph High School, and went on to study at Marquette University. He later moved to Arkansas, living and working in White Hall for several years, where he was active at Central Baptist Church and deeply involved in youth sports and community service. He and his family eventually settled in Bentonville.
A man of faith, Bundy trusted God through every season of life. He faced glioblastoma with courage and grace, never losing his fighting spirit.
Coaching was one of Bundy’s greatest joys. He poured his heart into every practice and game, teaching his players to improvise, adapt, and overcome, lessons that extended far beyond the field. Bundy was truly one of a kind, and he will be remembered for his passion, humor, and how he inspired others.
He was preceded in death by his parents, James and Jo Ann Krakau.
He is survived by his wife; children; and grandchildren; his siblings, Scott Krakau and Renee (Brian) Borowski of Ohio; his nieces, Anna and Alexis Rubertino; and many extended family members, friends, teammates, and players whose lives he touched.
Visitation will be held Friday, December 19, from 1-3:30 p.m. at Epting Funeral Home in Gravette, with the funeral service to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Bundy’s memory to glioblastoma research or to The CALL in NWA, which supports foster children and families.

Pinellas landfill redevelopment risks cause further delays
Plans to transform a long-dormant landfill into a sprawling sports complex are on hold as questions regarding the extent of soil contamination at the site remain unanswered.
Pinellas County Commissioners approved a $250,000 budget amendment Tuesday to complete subsurface investigation and engineering work at the former Toytown landfill. The state decommissioned the 175-acre dump, at 10540 16th Street N., in 1990.
“What we’ve seen is, because we have this data gap, and folks don’t know what’s under there, they haven’t been willing to take on that risk,” Lowack said. “We haven’t been able to get the private sector to come in at a reasonable amount, limiting that public side investment.”
The former landfill at 10540 16th St. N. in St. Petersburg is adjacent to the Gateway business district. Image: Google.
“And given that, with the proximity to the beach, we have the potential to have the best youth sports facility in the country,” he added.
County officials bought the former Toytown subdivision in 1956. St. Petersburg leased 160 acres for a landfill from 1961 until 1983.
Toytown subsequently became a designated brownfield site. Multiple redevelopment attempts failed to gain traction; those efforts were essentially paused in 2016 when plans to build an Atlanta Braves spring training complex unraveled.
Lowack said the county has “maxed out” other athletic fields, and local governments around the region and country are increasing investments in youth sports facilities. SFC declined to begin formal negotiations with VSPC until it received additional site information.
“This has been talked about for a long time – it would be a tremendous project,” said County Administrator Barry Burton. “But we have to make sure we understand what we’re getting ourselves into. These firms want to shift the risk to our side.”
Officials planned to redevelop approximately 95 acres. The study will determine if there is potential to expand into other areas.
“We simply don’t know what’s under there, and what materials that consists of, and how deep that goes,” Lowack explained. “If you put just a bunch of fields, with no vertical construction, we can do that. However, it’s going to be difficult, and you likely wouldn’t receive much private sector investment.”
Commissioner Rene Flowers said a complex needs “accessory pieces,” including lodging and restaurants, to attract premier tournaments from other areas. SFC proposed an optional “eatertainment” fieldhouse with indoor putting, sports simulators and an “interactive dining experience.”
Pinellas can use the FDEP grant to pay for environmental remediation, but not subsurface investigations. Commissioners approved using $250,000 in tourist development taxes to fund the studies Tuesday evening without discussion.
Commissioner Kathleen Peters said Dec. 11 that Toytown could host an amphitheater and a sports complex. She also noted that the county could have competing projects.
“It’s my understanding that there’s going to be a significant amount of fields being brought into Clearwater in a public-private partnership that I saw the plans on a couple of weeks ago,” Peters said. “That’s incredible. And a potential minor league soccer stadium. That may produce sooner.”
Lowack said SFC is also working on the Clearwater project. “If you’re working with the same firm, then I’m not concerned,” Peters said.
VSPC, with the commission’s funding approval, will now hire SFC’s geotechnical subcontractor to complete the studies. Pinellas can begin grant-related work once the process concludes in March 2026.
Lowack expects to receive a final proposal from SFC by the end of June. The redevelopment’s design and engineering phase could begin in October.

DVIDS – News – Fort Belvoir Nationally Recognized for Excellence in Youth Sports
Fort Belvoir Nationally Recognized for Excellence in Youth Sports
Exercise and physical activity play key roles in quality of life, health and mental fitness, according to the World Health Organization, and Fort Belvoir Families have been reaping the benefits of an innovative Fort Belvoir program that has recently been awarded by the National Alliance of Youth Sports (NAYS).
Jerry Arrington, Fort Belvoir’s Youth Sports and Fitness Director, said he was thrilled to see their Pre-K Health, Fitness and Wellness program earn such praise, as it delivers action-packed activities, fun challenges and interactive lessons.
“To manage a sports program, you have to start developing the young kids to feed into the program as they get older,” Arrington said. “We have a Start SMART program for kids 3-to-5 years old, which covers baseball football basketball, tennis and soccer.”
The outreach program covers many areas that are helping young children build that all-important foundation that can help forge healthy habits and lead to embracing active lifestyles. Executing this initiative at three of the base’s Child Development Centers provides a valuable sports and fitness segment that introduces skills needed for soccer, basketball, football and other team sports in a stress-free setting.
Classes begin with a song and a warm-up, helping kids latch onto the importance of preparing their bodies and minds for activity. Relay races and cone drills are woven into the sessions, giving kids the chance to experience and learn about teamwork, sportsmanship and perseverance.
Sessions culminate with yoga, as kids get to twist and turn their young bodies into calming poses while learning the art of relaxing and re-setting.
“The program encompasses developing team bonds and camaraderie,” Arrington says. “Plus, they get the chance to learn, have fun, and be successful.”
The department’s partnership with the Child and Youth Nutritionists has enabled children to learn about the importance of healthy nutrition and hydration choices through movement-based lessons.
Moms and Dads report that their kids are practicing stretches, dances and exercises at home while talking about teamwork and their favorite yoga poses.
Teachers have seen noticeable improvements in attention spans, behavior and peer interaction, according to George Dickson, Director of Family Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR), who said the sports and fitness programs help to prepare the mind and bodies of Fort Belvoir children.
“We offer Sports and Fitness programs for all four seasons to keep our children moving and learning skills that will stay with them for their entire life,” Dickson said. “We are all very proud of our CYS Sports and Fitness Team and for being recognized by the National Alliance for Youth Sports.”
Founded in 1981, NAYS is focused on educating volunteer coaches on their roles and responsibilities. To date, NAYS Coach Training & Membership has educated more than four million member coaches worldwide.
This is the second major award for Arrington at Fort Belvoir, who modestly credits his team.
“It’s about the staff that work with me,” said Arrington. “I’ve got a great staff – they do a tremendous job.”
Dickson said he could not agree more with that sentiment, and what it means for Fort Belvoir Families, adding, “Fort Belvoir Child and Youth Services (CYS) Sports and Fitness Programs are the best in the US Army!”
