John Ray Hayes, 60, former pressman and longtime resident of Fort Worth, went to be with our Lord on Sunday, June 23, 2013.
John was born on May 22, 1953, to John and Viola Hayes. He was raised in Franklin, Pa., but he got to Texas and settled in Fort Worth as fast as he could. Fortunate were those who were able to share John’s humor while working at Allen & Co. Printing, playing his drums, cruising with his motorcycle club, camping (with Pam by his side), and earning a reputation for smoking the best ribs and brisket.
Survivors: His beloved wife, Pam; daughters, Amy Watson of Pittsburgh, Pa., and Deeann McQueen and husband, Nathaniel, of Vienna, Va.; six grandchildren, Dante Watson, Domonique Watson, Devin Watson, Molly McQueen, Ian McQueen and Ryan McQueen; three sisters Jane McCarty and husband, Terry, Margaret McDonald, and Georgie Walbourn and husband, Ed, all of Franklin, Pa.; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
