John Wallace Bailey Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

John "Wallace" Bailey, 74, passed away June 16, 2017 and with him perhaps the last remnants of an era gone by. He lived in Wakulla County since the 1970's and owned the saw mill, Wakulla Wood Products Inc., back in the 70's and 80's. In those days he could be found supervising his logging crews, manning the saw at the mill, or even yelling commands to a team of mules or draft horses pulling massive logs from the thick Wakulla woods. He was proud of his animals and of his work. Despite his somewhat cantankerous ways, Wallace was a softhearted man with a concern for people and an especially heartwarming love for little ones. His family will remember him always, smiling back on memories of the way he picked on the ones he loved the most... until we see him again. He is survived by Kathy Redmer Bailey, his son John (Kathy) Bailey, daughters Karen (late Joe) Morgan, Annette (Ron) Layton, seven grandchildren, Joey (Carolyn) Morgan, Jessica (Chad) Oxendine, Justin (Courtney) Morgan, Jarrod (Shelby) Morgan, Kristen, Summer, and Heather Bailey, his seven great grandchildren Nolan and Addison Morgan, Arabella and Lily Grace Oxendine and Judge, Jed and Jewel Morgan. Others include his brother, Arthur (Kathy) Bailey and sister Nell Bailey of Blountstown, sister Carolyn Shuler, Patsy (Alvin) Godwin of Bristol, Winnie Paulk of Marianna, brother-in-law Tommy Bush of Tallahassee; a host of nieces, nephews, friends and his loyal companion, Muffin. He was preceded in death by his parents, John F. and Wilma A. Bailey, brother Charles (Betty) Bailey sister Ann (Bush) Bailey, brothers-in-law, Raymond Paulk and Buddy Shuler. A memorial service will be held at the Crawfordville Seventh Day Adventist Church, 107 Shadeville Rd, Crawfordville, Florida, on Sunday, June 25th at 3:00p.m. Arrangements are under the care of Skip Young with Family Funeral Home & Cremation Services. 850-926-5919 Familyfhc.com
