He enjoyed word working and making clocks and could fix just about anything. He loved his grandchildren, and they were his world.

He was preceded in death by his wife Shelby Pace; his parents Christine and John Roy Pace; a sister Katie Traylor and a brother-in-law Rev. Tolbert Traylor.

Pallbearers will be J.L. White, Sonny McMullen, Roy Caraway, Clement White, Kent Gibson, Langford Knight, Steve Wilson, Gerald Goodin, and Greg Price.

The family wishes to express their heartfelt thanks to Harper’s Hospice, his sitters Brenda Wilborn and Eloise Turner, and his nurse Katelyn Freeman who provided extraordinary compassionate care.
