Avery Pierce Gaines

Avery Pierce Gaines, age 22, of Ringgold, GA, was tragically taken from those that love him much too soon on April 8, 2018. Avery was a very loving, gentle spirit who loved nothing more than making others smile. Quick with a kind word, a tender hug, a loud laugh, and sometimes the most inappropriate thing said at the most appropriate time, Avery will be remembered by those whom he loved as one who treated everyone as a neighbor, never met a stranger, and as always being willing to give the shirt off his back to you when you needed it.

Avery is survived by his father, Jeremy Gaines, his loving mother, Domekia (King) Gaines, two brothers; Jonah (21), and Kale (10), two sisters; Ellie (16) and Anna (3), and his grandparents, David and Donna King, of Calhoun, GA. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Jerry and JoNann Gaines. Numerous uncles, aunts, and cousins all knew and loved Avery as well.

Visitation will be Tuesday, April 10, from 5:00-8:00 p.m. at Covenant Presbyterian Church 8451 East Brainerd Rd. in Chattanooga. A memorial service will be held Wednesday, April 11, at 11:00 a.m. at the church with Rev. Eric Mullinax and Dr. Dan Steere officiating.
