Daniel Vernon Furr, Jr., known to family and friends as "D.V." or "Uncle Bud," passed away unexpectedly on Firday, November 4, 2011.

D.V. was born on June 20, 1920 on a farm that he tended his whole life in Cabarrus County. He was one of twelve children of Daniel Vernon Furr, Sr. and Sarah "Aunt Dine" Blackwelder.
