John Lawrence "Peanut" Doles
Gray, GA- John Lawrence "Peanut" Doles, 60, entered the gates of Heaven on Monday, December 5, 2016. A celebration of his life will be held at 2 p.m., Friday, December 9, 2016 at Snow's Memorial Chapel, Pio Nono with burial in Evergreen Cemetery. Pastor Paul Dziadul will officiate. The family will meet friends from 12:30 p.m. until service time on Friday at the funeral home.

He was of the Baptist Faith and was an avid Braves fan, enjoyed watching the "Young and the Restless," and enjoyed Falcons Football.

"Peanut" was my only friend to play with when I was 6-8 years old when I was growing up in Jones Co. in the mid 70's. I am relieved to learn how much family he had as my entire family often wondered where he was and if he was ok. Maybe his horse Sheba will be waiting for him. The pic is not for advertising Peanut was a part of Avant Trucking,it wouldn't have been as much fun without him.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Peanut but I know his sister Kay and the family and I heard many stories of what a fun-loving and kind soul he was. My prayers and thoughts go out daily to everyone! I love you Kay Bug!

I'm saddened to hear about this. I met Peanut only a few times but thought he was a kind person whose devotion to the Braves was contagious. My thoughts are with the family and those who knew him best.
