A hillbilly kid raised in a primitive but humble lifestyle where huntin', fishin' and helping the large family survive was paramount. He patterned his life from lessons learned during these hardships times.

A simple obituary cannot encapsulate Laymon's life, but it serves as a tribute to a man who's call to serve our Lord was unalterably fixed.
