He is also lovingly remembered by his nieces and nephews: Marty Dozier, John Edwards, Ben Edwards, Patrick Guy, Julie Guy Whitlow, Leslie Dozier Reen, and Angela Edwards Austin.

A graveside service will be held at 1:00 PM on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, at Oaklawn Memorial Gardens, 3250 High Point Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27107.
