He was born on November 21, 1928 to the late Tony and Anna Priest. He and his twin were the youngest of ten siblings.

He is also survived by a step-daughter, Mrs. Shirley Nelson, three step-sons: Aubrey Mitchell, Thurman Byles and Eudis Byles, and two granddaughters, Mrs. Leslie Spano and Mrs. Jodi Tucker, and numerous great grandchildren. The family would like to thank Dunbar Village Nursing Home and the Hancock County Senior Center for their love and support. Special thanks to the staff of Gentiva Health Service (Hospice) for the professional care he received. In addition, the family expresses their appreciation to family friends and healthcare workers Heather Adams and Ellen Armenta. Rose-Neath Southside 2500 Southside Drive 318-687-1256
