Gaylon you were a great friend, husband, and father. We will miss you so much. Hold down the fort on the other side until we are able to meet again. I pray for Amie, your family, and all of your other wonderful friends. We will never forget you. Every time i think of you the “A country boy can survive”‘song pops into my head and makes me smile. This song will mean so much more to me now. Rest in peace buddy
So Sad! I will miss him dearly! Prayers for his family, wife, and child. R.I.P. Gaylon!
