Obituary for Jason Leonard-Tillery Bailey
Jason Leonard-Tillery Bailey, age 43 of Luttrell, TN passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, December 6, 2022 after a courageous and hard-fought battle with cancer. He was a member of Ridgeview Heights Baptist Church and was an employee of Action Exterminating for 18 years.
A natural jokester, Jason loved to kid around. If you were in his presence, he was sure to have you belly laughing at some point during your time with him. Jason was an avid sportsman and loved being outdoors. When he wasn’t in a tree stand hunting a big buck or spending time with his family, you could find Jason helping others. He lived out 1 Peter 4:10 “As each has received a gift, use it to serve on another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” Take time to look for opportunities to serve one another in Jason’s memory.
Preceded in death by: mother, Loretta Bray; step-father, Eddie Bray; father, Jeff Hardwick.
