Currey was born on January 19, 1940 to Lee F. and Lillie Mae Stailey Jones.  He was baptized at the Bonham Street Church of Christ and at his death was still a member there.  With a lot of encouragement, he spoke his first message on a Wednesday night and from that time on he loved to preach.  He was the last preacher at Roxton before they were forced to close their doors. He then went to serve at Reno, Bogata and any place there was a need.

Next to loving his church work, he loved his place at Forest Chapel.  He loved working, fishing and hunting with his son, Wade.  Every Saturday was spent as a family day with his daughter, Tammye, grandchildren, and in-laws cooking out, playing 42, hiking, fishing, etc.

Moving back to Paris in 1962, his first job was with Southern Paper Box, Champion Packaging, Merico Packaging, all on Center Street next to Westinghouse and retired from Phillips Lighting where he served as Business Manager and President of the IBEW Union for several years.

He was preceded in death by his parents; beloved son, Wade; two brothers, Carl and Don; and a half-sister, Julie Jones.

He is survived by his wife of 62 and a half years, Pat; daughter, Tammye Hawkins and husband David; granddaughter, Jennifer Stone and husband Chris; grandson, Matthew Hawkins; granddaughter, Julie Roebuck and husband Dalton; two great-grandchildren, Danielle Stone and Jason Stone; brother, Arthur Jones; sister, Sylvia Covington; two half-brothers, Jeff and Greg Jones; two half-sisters, Janice Ogden and Derida Anderson; sister-in-law, Linda Jones; several nieces and nephews whom he deeply loved; numerous cousins and extended family members; his precious puppy, Honey.

Serving as Pallbeareres will be David Hawkins, Matthew Hawkins, Chris Stone, Dalton Roebuck, Jeff Strickland and Gary Jones.

The family wishes to reach out and thank all the On Call Home Health help that have worked with us and for him especially his nurse, Carla Spann that has been with him from day one.  God bless each of you.
