During his early years of marriage, he and his wife farmed and owned and operated an upholstery shop, Thrift Host Motel in Hilliard, FL, and Midway Grocery. Then, in 1980, Junior and Minnie founded Junior's Trucking, Inc., a west coast trucking company, which operated until April 2003. Junior was a faithful member of Piney Grove Baptist Church until his health declined. He was a member of the Brotherly Love and Senior Citizens committees and played an important role in the Brotherhood BBQ suppers. Junior was an avid gardener and will be remembered throughout the community for sharing his many homegrown fruits and vegetables with his family, friends, and neighbors. Junior was also a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and a friend to all. He is survived by four daughters and three sons-in-law, Shirley and Larry Danley and Patricia and Craig Lawson, all of Mount Airy, Debbie and Tim Holmes of Yadkinville, and Cynthia Chattin of Pilot Mountain; six grandchildren and their spouses, Paul and DeAnne Danley and Lucas and Mandi Danley, all of Mount Airy, Audra and Tyler Chilton of King, Wesley Lawson and his special friend, Cathryn Lineberger, of Charlotte, and Jacob Chattin and Allison Chattin, both of Pilot Mountain; three great-grandchildren, Will Danley, Jaxson Danley, and Mae Danley, all of Mount Airy; two sisters and brothers-in-law, Jessie and Raybern Hiatt and Mary Ruth and Jobe Marion, all of Mount Airy; three brothers and sisters-in-law, Bobby and Edythe Draughn, Eddie and Sandra Draughn, and Tommy and Sue Draughn, all of Mount Airy; and several nieces and nephews.
