J.C. Easley Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
J.C. loved Jesus and his family and shared that love with everyone he knew. He was an excellent woodworker, and his family believed he could build and fix anything. He was also very generous and loved giving fresh vegetables from his garden to friends and family. He always had cinnamon candy in his pocket to share while wishing everyone a blessed day. J.C. retired from Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. after over 31 years of service, where he made many friends. J.C. served as a deacon at Piney Grove Baptist Church where he had been a member for over fifty years.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Clifton and Valrie Easley; his brother, Wilburn Easley; and his son-in-law, Tim Baker.
He will be greatly missed by his wife, Annette Dupree Easley; his children, Diane and Tim Brown, Curtis and DeeDee Easley, and Rhonda Jones and Lance Hall, all of Atlanta. He was the proud granddad to five grandchildren, Aaron and Hannah Baker, Megan and Neill Beckham, Chris and Ashley Easley, Ryan and Kelly Jones, and Rachel Jones. He especially enjoyed and loved his three great-grandchildren: Amelia and Maddox Scott and Shiloh Jones. He is also survived by one sister, Jane Wright, and four brothers, Roy and Linda Easley, Clovis and Donna Easley, Johnny and Teresa Easley, and Ricky and Nancy Easley. J.C. and Annette shared their home and hearts with five foster children whom they always loved as part of their family.
Pallbearers are Phillip Dupree, Kevin Dupree, Steve Kinney, Tim Easley, Randall Easley, and Stuart Easley. Two of his closest friends, Carrol Green and Carroll Clayton, are honorary pallbearers.
