JOHNNY ROYCE BAILEY, JR -OBITUARY

Johnny Royce Bailey, Jr., age 56 of Ardmore, AL died Wednesday, June 20, 2018 at his home. Born in Decatur, AL he was the son of John Bailey, Sr. and Osta Leigh Balch Bailey. John was a long time resident of Ardmore, AL. He was a self -employed electrician. His hobby and passion was sound work. He was the type of man that would give you the shirt off his back. To many, he was sound man, electrician, plumber (which he just hated plumbing), and what ever else that needed to be fixed. He would help his family and friends and not expect anything in return for it. He was always helping the Ardmore community. He loved helping out at the Boys and Girls Club annual Cruise In and Meet the Tigers. If it had anything to do with sound he wanted to be a part of it. He always had a joke, enjoyed spending time with his family, friends and our 10:30 Valley Tavern Family. He was a great husband, father, pawpaw and friend that had a big heart. He will be missed by many.
He was preceded in death by his father and mother; grandparents, Roy Lee and Bernice Bailey and grandfather, Rock Balch.

Johnny is survived by his wife, Coni Bailey, Ardmore, AL; sons, Jacob Bailey (Jessica Clemons), Decatur, AL and J.D.
