He was preceded in death by a sister, Pearl Spradling, and a grandson, Keith Morrison.
The funeral service is at 2 p.m. Wednesday at First Christian Church of Afton with the Rev. Lee Williams officiating.
Pallbearers are Mickey Miller, Richard Bassett, Kevin Chandler, Chris Mercer, Andy Lee Hilton, Tim Chandler, and Jerry Wayne Chandler. Burial will follow at Sixkiller Cemetery with the Grove Veterans' Ritual Team performing military rites.
