Specialties included dinners of smoked meats and baked beans. Survivors include his son, Nick (Kristy) Brinkley who are expecting a baby boy in December; a step-son, David (Tiffany) Rhodes; an aunt, Kathy Willey; nieces, Stephanie (Gene) Nell and Adrienne Brinkley; five great-nieces; a great-nephew; other relatives and special friends. Arrangements are with Tri-County Funeral Home of Highland, Arkansas. No services are planned at this time.
