Instead of joining a firm, Homer
wanted to be his own man and started
his own law firm and fought
passionately for those in need. He
hated injustice and did his best to
serve his clients and make things
right by them. He was active in the
local Chamber of Commerce and served
as City Judge for many years, much
to the chagrin of his adolescent
children.
He was a life long UT Vol fan and
vowed at the start of every season
that this would be “The Year”. He
was apparently delusional.
Homer was a kind a generous soul,
full of humor and laughter. He loved
his family and friends, especially
his grandchildren. He was a good man
who will be missed dearly.
He is survived by his wife, Laura;
son, Christopher and his wife Jackie
and their children Samuel, Madelyn
and Emerson. He was preceded in
death by his parents Homer and Nell
(Hunter) Ayers; his daughter,
Shannon; and his siblings, Lavenia
Eggleston, Sheldon Ayers and Ethel
Wilson.
