Roger Hays Obituary
JONESBORO - Lynn Roger Hays "Gabby" was born June 25, 1946. He was born and raised in Lunsford. Roger passed away Wednesday, July 20, 2022.
He was immersed in the Christian community and that would be his lifelong support from an early age. Roger was a charter member of the Valley View Missionary Baptist Church. He was an avid hunter, fisherman and sportsman.
Roger is survived by his sister, Peggy Pendergraft, and three children, Kristy Adams, Sherry Hogan and Brandon Hays. He had seven grandchildren, two great-grandkids whom he loved dearly, along with friends and family, especially his best friend, Charlie Agee.
Roger was preceded in death by Lillian Lanell Hays, Emmett Hays and his sister, Barbara Zimmer.
Roger left to be with the Lord after a long battle with cancer. He was a strong man and defeated it. While the fight was hard he was tough. He held his head high and had a smile on his face until the end. His legacy will live on forever.
Services will be 11 a.m. Monday in the chapel of Emerson Funeral Home. Visitation will be from 10 to 11 a.m. prior to service.
Friends and family are all welcome to come eat after the service at 2305 E. Parker Road, Suite E.
