How do you describe Dad in a few lines? Our Dad was the greatest man we have ever known. He took care of everyone. He was a fixer, if it was broken, Dad could fix it.
He was a provider, farmer, and gardener, who would give you the shirt off of his back. He was hopelessly devoted to his family. He was a man of honor and integrity, possessing a wealth of knowledge of all things. He was honest and matter of fact, with quite the sense of humor. He was a simple man, but rich in love, family, and friendship.
Graveside services will be conducted at 2:00 p.m., Sunday, February 20, 2022, at the Addington Jessee Cemetery, Nickelsville, VA, with Rev. G.W. White and Pastor P.J. Johnson officiating. Greg and Becky White will provide the music. Garrett Sluss, Tristan Salyer, Malachi Carrico, Sean Epperson, Brian Boggs, Luke Finch, Justin Grizzle, and Logan Corder will serve as pallbearers. Ralph Owens, Tommy Finch, Steve Corder, and Derek Corder will serve as honorary pallbearers.
Family and friends are asked to meet at the cemetery for the graveside service.
The family would like to extend thanks to Holston Medical Group, Weber City, VA, V.A. Mountain Home, Johnson City, TN, and Caris Healthcare of Big Stone Gap, VA for all the care that was provided during our time of need.
