It is with deep sorrow that we report the untimely death of John Staats, a beloved 15-year-old student, athlete, and musician, who was tragically killed in a shooting in Little Rock on January 28, 2025. John was found inside a vehicle on Stanton Road, where he was taken from us far too soon. His passing leaves a profound void in the hearts of all who knew him.

John was a freshman at Catholic High School for Boys, where he was known as a bright, kind, and talented young man. He had a passion for learning and was dedicated to his studies. John’s sense of humor and his ability to make others laugh brought joy to everyone around him. An avid athlete, John was involved in football and also a member of the Little Rock Dolphin swim team. Outside of sports, he was a gifted musician, playing the violin with the Arkansas Symphony Youth Ensemble and the piano.

John’s faith was an important part of his life. He was baptized in July 2019 at Pleasant Valley Church of Christ, where he expressed a deep and thoughtful belief in God. His spiritual life, along with his generous heart, made a lasting impact on his family, friends, and community.

John is remembered not only for his talents and achievements but also for his kindness and thoughtfulness. He will be greatly missed by his parents, Shauna and Ray Staats, as well as his extended family, friends, neighbors, classmates, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

A prayer service was held at Catholic High School in remembrance of John, where his fellow students and teachers shared in the grief of losing someone so beloved. The school community continues to offer support and solace to John’s family and friends during this heartbreaking time.

John is now resting in heaven, reunited with his dear grandfather, and will always be in the hearts of those who loved him.
