John William McBrayer Jr.

December 1, 1940 - December 29, 2020

John “Mac” William McBrayer, Jr. was born on December 1, 1940 and entered into eternity with his Savior on December 29, 2020 at the age of 80. His loving wife of 53 years and their daughter were able to be with him at Regional Medical Center in his final moments. Mac was a resident of Nances Creek in Piedmont and loved his community. He was an avid fan of Dale Earnhardt Sr., Alabama Crimson Tide football, Atlanta Braves, and his great-granddaughters’ softball, volleyball, and basketball teams at White Plains. He enjoyed taking care of his family, his yard, his cat, Po, and his dog, Samson. He is survived by his wife, Joyce McBrayer, and their daughter, Kim King (Phillip) as well as four grandchildren, Kelisha Feazell (Matthew), Kenisha Jackson (Kelsey), Skyla McBrayer, and Kaine McBrayer, and ten great-grandchildren, Annelise, Brodie, Alivia, Isabella, Kaitlynn, Madeline, Eliza, Jakobe, Kambree, and Mila, and many other extended family members and friends. He was reunited in Heaven with his mother, Pearl Schwartz, his son, Kevin McBrayer, grandsons, Keith Eden and John K. McBrayer Jr., and his little sidekick, his great grandson, Will Brimer, and many other loved ones and friends who had left their earthly homes before him. The family celebrated his life in a private graveside service on December 30th at Nances Creek Cemetery with Ken Ballard officiating. The family would like to extend their appreciation to the COVID 1 unit at RMC with a special thank you to a few of his nurses, Brandon, Chris, Sloan, and Cris, and his pulmonologist, Dr. Patel. In lieu of flowers or memorial gifts, the family asks that a donation be made to Church of the Cross Youth Ministry at 1600 Greenbrier Dear Road, Anniston, AL 36207. Mac lived his life to the fullest and by his own rules, and he will be missed by many as he made a lasting impression on all that had the pleasure of meeting him.
