Donald Ray Pressley

Donald was known to be very friendly and added much life to the people he was around. He never met a stranger, and always encouraged everyone to come visit his church. Words truly cannot do justice to the love he had for his family, Hallie, and the Lord. On Saturdays you could find him cheering on the Crimson Tide and in his free time you could find him on a cruise or an adventure with the love of his life Kathy.

He is survived by his spouse: Kathy Pressley, children: Denise Pressley, Deanna Rae Spears (Joe), Angie Long (Keith). Brother: William Pressley (Mary Lou), Sister-in-law: Sara Pressley, Grandchildren: Michael W. Uptain (Rachel), David Adam Pressley (Amber), Marcus Tompkins (Tammy), Joseph Spears, Jr. (Kelsey), Alexander Spears (Allison), Dalton Hall (Sarah), Amanda McClamoch (Melvin), Brady Long, Brinkley Long, and many beloved great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his parents: Grady L. Pressley and Annie Sue Hartley Pressley, son: David W. Pressley, brother: Kenneth Pressley, and sister: Constance Juanita Hulgan.

Those honored to serve as pall bearers are Michael W. Uptain, David Adam Pressley, Marcus Tompkins, Joseph Spears, Jr., Alexander Spears, and Dalton Hall.
