Laymon was a proud 1962 graduate of Holly Grove High School. He excelled in all sports. He was the quarterback for his Panther team. Although football was his favorite, he showed out one night on the basketball court and put up 44 points. He loved reminiscing about his glory days playing ball.
His hobbies included hunting, fishing, going to the horse track at Oaklawn, and watching tv which usually included some type of sport or a “good old Western”. His favorite pastime was hanging out and smoking cigarettes. He shared many times that was his favorite thing to do. He affectionately referred to most people as “Cuz” and enjoyed visiting with friends and family.

He is survived by his daughter Dana (Darin) Daniel of Searcy, AR, his two granddaughters, Dannon (Jon) Alexander of Searcy, AR, and Delaney (Blake) Moss of Romance, AR, his two great grandsons, Cade Walker Alexander and Lane Daniel Alexander.

Laymon was one of my favorite people in Holly Grove. I was old enough to remember him playing football and basketball- really good athlete. Laymon was always overly friendly to everyone and had no enemies- a testament to the way he lived. I will miss talking sports with him. My condolences to the family.

Dana and family, am so sorry to hear about your Dad. Have many good memories from back-in-the-day playing cards, the many parties and just reminiscing. He will definitely be missed. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.

Cuz and I became friends while in the National Guard together. He was a man who never met a stranger. He was always upbeat, not a worry in the world, seamed to enjoy what ever he was doing. I haven't seen him in years but have never forgot him and never will. RIP Cuz.
