Preceded in death by his parents, Polly and Leon Ellis, he is survived by his wife of 56 years, Sheila, and his daughter and son-in-law, Lesley and Jamie Campbell. 

He was a lifelong member of Moores Bridge Baptist Church, where he served as a deacon and a vital member of the community. He was a Veteran of the U. S. Air Force and worked for The University of Alabama for more than 30 years and was a member of The Lion’s Club of Northside. If you knew him, then you know that he never met a stranger and was a friend to more people than we can name. He had an easygoing personality, enjoyed spending time with family and friends, and served the Lord until he was called home.

Honorary pallbearers are Truman Strickland and the Buhl, Elrod, and Holman Water Authority members.
