Honorary pallbearers were Tim Dickey, Jack Norsworthy, Jimmy Baggett, Walter Folmar Jr, Wayne Gibson, Boyd Berry, and Scott Strickland.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to the Glenwood United Methodist Church, P.O. Box 53, Glenwood, Alabama 36034, or to Gideons International.
