The greatest love and joy in his life was his family. Left to carry on his light is his loving wife of 51 years, Alice, his sons, Ricky (Christy) and Chris (Quantella), daughter, Michele (Kevin), and "son" Wayne (Kathy); cherished grandchildren, Hailey, Jordan, Christopher, Ella, and Lucy; sisters, Peggy (Jobeel) and Pat (Richard), and brother, Jimmy (Tena). He was preceded in death by brothers, David and Bobby and special friend Mike.
JB owned and operated Western Carolina Garage Door for over 38 years and considered all who worked for him over the years as extended family.
He loved sports and spent decades as a coach or a referee for youth basketball and baseball in the North Buncombe Community.
JB was so much more than a boss or a coach or a friend. He was the father or brother you never had. To know him was to love him and he was a true blessing to all who had the privilege of knowing him.
A memorial service celebrating JB's life will be held Saturday, March 5th, at 2:00 p.m. at Locust Grove Baptist Church. The family would appreciate masks. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the ALS Association in JB's memory.
Many hearts were touched by JB's kindness and generosity and filled with his deep and unconditional love. We will miss him more than words can say but take comfort knowing that he is now at peace.
