Waymon Ray Townsend of Trussville, at the age of 86, peacefully passed at home on Saturday, November 16, 2024. He is survived by his wife, Evelyn Fox Townsend, Rhonda Townsend Buckner (Pat), Bill Townsend (Jennifer), Jeff Fox (Tracy), Cyndi Fox Polito (David), and many grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Also survived by brother Randall Townsend and sister Pam Skinner. He was called Papa and loved his family with great passion. He enjoyed working in his yard, flowers (especially red roses), sharing life stories, talking “trucking,” keeping up with family news and events and sharing a bit of time together.
He was preceded in death by his parents Riley and Mollie Townsend, sister Betty Townsend Kitchens, and grandson William Matthew Townsend.
Papa’s quiet laugh and smile warmed our hearts. He will be forever missed.
