Pallbearers will be Andrew Johnson, Jarred Johnson, Johnny Poston, Ralph Hale, Lesley Hale, Bobby Lowe, Jake McGlothlin, Mike Johnson and Dave Powers.

Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 16, 2016, in the Owens Funeral Service Chapel with the Rev. Jonah Shoop and the Rev. Donnie Hobson officiating. Interment will follow at Ketron Memorial Gardens in Lebanon.

The family will receive friends on Friday from 6 to 9 p.m. at the funeral home.
