So sorry to hear this. I went to church with Hack & Tomi, he took a special interest in my ministry from the time I was a teen. Rest in peace, Brother.
I cant imagine Campbell County without Hack Ayers. He was a role model and mentor to many. Hack will be missed. Prayers to his family!
Condolences to the family and may he rest in peace.
I can remember Hack back in the early 1950’s. During the 1950’s my mother worked for the Ayers family and Hack would give her a ride home after work. She loved Hack and R.L.
I remember when Hack sold my home, when I moved to Florida, 1991. He was a wonderful person, and he and his wife were great friends to my Mommy and Daddy, Everett and Evelyn Huddleston. He will be greatly missed. LaFollette will not be the same without him. May God bless and comfort his family.
Loved Riding With Him And Enjoying His Stories!
So very sorry to hear this! He was a wonderful man! Praying for his lovely wife , family and friends.
Sorry to hear of his passing, a friend (and distant cousin).
I grew up knowing Hack & went to school with his daughter( Debbie). My husband & I stay at his HAMPTON INN. Last trip in we had breakfast with him as he told his stories. To his family, you all are in our PRAYERS.
What a legend! And great friend to our family. Hack was the first to welcome us to Tennessee back in 1986 and invite us to church soon after our arrival. We enjoyed his stories and the friendship our families have shared for many years now. Never an arrogance about him, and what a testimony his life was of God’s grace! Always a respectable, pleasant person who was a joy to be around! Love and prayers to Tomi, the girls and their families and the many relatives and countless people honored with his friendship. He will be missed by all who knew him. Kristi (DeGuire) Alvis
We never made a trip to LaFollette that my kids did not ask “Are we going to get to visit with cousin Hack?” That was one of the highlights of the trip.
Campbell County has truly lost an icon!!! His presence will be sincerely missed My condolences and prayers go out to The AYERS Family.
Best friend I ever had. Helped me get my drivers license, down to earth, easy to be with. Treated me like a brother
I send prayers to the Ayers family. May the Heavenly angels wrap their wings of divine love around him and the family. We have lost a true kind legend! Rest In sweet piece.
