Coy Otis Rhea

September 17, 2009

On September 15, 2009, to our great sadness after an accident at home, Coy went home to be with our Lord. All that knew him, especially his wife of 27 years, will miss him. A very devoted husband, father and “Pawpaw” who loved the Lord with his whole heart. Coy never met a stranger and loved children of all ages. He loved woodworking with his buddy, Bobby Hall and he really enjoyed spending time with all of his grandchildren.

Mr. Rhea is preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Pauline Rhea and brother Cecil Rhea.

Survivors include his wife, Estherline B. Rhea, his children Tarri Lynn Crockett, Rhonda Rhea Marchand, Micahel David Rhea, Tywona Crockett, Kathy Brady, Rhonda Pollits; siblings Christine Rhea Cambell, DaLee Rhea McMahn, and Ronald Reha; eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Visitation will be held Friday, September 18, from 5:00 pm until 8:00 pm at the Flomaton Funeral Home Chapel, and funeral services will be held Sunday, September 20, at  Howard’s View Church in Sevierville, Tennessee at 2:00 pm with visitation beginning at noon and continuing until service time with interment in Howard’s View Cemetary in Sevierville.

Coy and Estherline were blessed to have a wonderful church family and friends at Ray’s Chapel in McDavid, FL as well as at Howard’s View Church in Sevierville.

    I just wanted to thank everyone for their prayers after the loss of my father Coy Rhea. He was a good Christian man and we all know he’s in Heaven. If only there were more people like him in the world. He is loved and missed dearly.
