He is survived by his wife of forty-six years, Sharrell Ethridge; a daughter, Andrea Raley; son-in-law, Duane Raley; two grandsons, Justin and Jordan Raley; two sisters, Annette James and Ebbie Lee; brother-in-law, Bob Lee; along with a very special nephew, Rick Daughtery. He is also survived by his sisters by marriage, Linda McInnis, Betty Grice, Shirley Crain; and brother-in-law, Wayne Crain. Peanut was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who loved his family more that life itself. His greatest joy in life was his grandchildren who he lovingly called "his boys". He will be missed tremendously. Funeral services were held at 2PM on Saturday, May 3, 2014 at the Lewis Funeral Home, Milton Chapel with Rev. Alton Nixon, Rev. Jimmy Pittman and Rev. Lee Bott, officiating. Burial followed in Crain Cemetery. Visitation was held from 6-8PM on Friday, May 2, 2014 at the funeral home. The family would like to thank the nurses on the 2nd floor, 6th floor, and Critical Care Unit of West Florida Hospital for the tremendous care he received during the last six months. They gave him great care but also compassion and love which we will never forget. Donations can be made to East Milton Assembly of God "Backpack Club" to assist with feeding children.
