In life, Lavon was a stubborn man but he was a loving and sensitive man. He lived by the Word and instilled the Word in his children and family. He could be found on his porch and you were sure to leave with stories and laughter. His laugh was infectious. He was an obedient man who was in charge of everything, just ask Ma because what she says, goes… That obedience died with Ma so for four weeks he gave his children and grandchildren a run for their money reliving his glory days. A week after Pa was left in charge, the oak tree in the front yard was cut down, Pa always hated it but Ma thought it was fine. At two weeks after Pa was spotted on an ATV barreling down sleepy hill road. And at about three weeks he figured out he could get away with gym shorts in front of company. He was preceeded in death by his wife of 58 years, Avelean Reynolds. He was survived by his children Cecilia (Warren) Bryant and Anthony (Cyndee) Reynolds. His grandchildren Christian (Jason) Bryant, Emily Patterson, Zachary Patterson, Brianna (Justin) Landreth, Hannah (KingSolomon) Manago, Savannah (Jacob) Stump, and Carrie (Aaron) Testerman and his great grandchildren Nevaeh, Seth, Jacob, Silas, Brylie, Eli, Dallas, Ronan, Kylee, Junior, Sophia, KingSolomon Jr., Braden, Abigail, (Maritia), (Cianna), and (Avery).
