Including his parents, he was preceded in death by a very special aunt and uncle, Christine and Herb Elder, and another special aunt, Laura Sherrill.

Those left to cherish and honor memories include his wife of 59 years, Melva Jo Davidson Hight; his daughter, Susan Hight Fox and husband Jody; his grandsons, Christopher Fox and wife Kaylee, and Jeremy Fox and wife Elizabeth; a special brother-in-law, Ronald Davidson and wife Katherine; his nephews, Jamie Davidson and wife DeAnn, Michael Davidson and wife Mitzi, and their families; a special life-long friend, Wayne Bebber and wife Carol; and a great-grandchild due in September.
