Cletis Lee Cottner Jr. "Punkin", age 56 passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 19th, 2023 at his home in Stanton, TN.
Cletis was born on January 8th, 1967 to the late Cletis Cottner Sr. and late Sally Wall. Cletis was a Jack of all trades, MASTER of it all. If it was broken, he could fix it. He loved cars and building guitars. He took pride in making the broken beautiful. To know Cletis was to love him, his goal was to make you smile. He truly had a heart of gold, his motto was if he had it so did you. If you had the blessing of being loved by him there wasn't a day that went by that you didn't know how much he loved you. His love and wisdom will be greatly missed by all.
Cletis is survived by his daughter Amy Landis of Humboldt, TN; his sister Robin McKnight (Ricky) of Stanton, TN; sister Betty Sears of Kansas City, MO; brother David Johnson of Galloway, TN; grandson Styler Emison of Bells, TN; two nieces: Kristen McKnight and Madelyn McKnight.
A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date. All arrangements and services are under the direction of the Lea & Simmons Funeral Home in Brownsville, TN.
