He passed from this life on Tuesday, July 14, 2015 into the waiting and welcoming arms of his precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

He was a member at Samples Memorial Baptist Church and his name has been written in the Lambs Book of Life for many years. He loved the Lord Jesus Christ and was always ready to give a reason for the hope that he had in Him.

He was preceded in death by his mother and father, son in law Wayne Miessau; sister Dorothy Eunice Lowery Kerr; brothers in law Ralph Lowery, Oscar Kerr, Earl Griffin and Harland James, niece Buffy Beard, and nephews Brad Chastain and Dwight Lowery.

Grady was a huge U.T. Vols fan and enjoyed watching many sports as well as participating in different sports most of his life. As long as he was physically able one of his greatest pleasures and pass times was playing basketball with the guys. He wasnt often the most talented player but no one ever completed harder or loved the challenge better. His greatest talent may have been that he was unsurpassed in his ability to grow things in his garden. He enjoyed sharing his harvest more than he enjoyed reaping.

The family will receive friends at Samples Memorial Baptist Church from 2:00pm until 5:00pm Sunday July 19, 2015. At 5:00pm a memorial service to celebrate Gradys life will be held with Mark Cameron, Pastor at Samples Memorial officiating. Others may speak at the celebration.
