He was preceded in death by his parents, his brothers Adrian, Earl, Austin, and Dale, and by his sister Libby.
Survivors include the love of his life and wife of 57 years, Jaye Hendrix; son Stephen Gregory (Catherine) Hendrix; daughter Kaye (Mark)Collins; brother Howard Hendrix; and seven grandchildren, Ashley, Allison, Skylar, Morgan, Kailie, Tayler, and Cooper.
