Rayburn started working with his Dad when he was just a kid delivering milk in glass bottles to homes in Nashville. He joined the United States Air Force in 1965 and stationed in Spangdahlem Germany during the Vietnam War. He was a Sergeant, Jet Fighter Mechanic & received a Medal of Good Conduct, he was honorably discharged in 1969. After he left the military, Rayburn, went right back to working at W.E. Davis & Son Dairy and was a milk man for over 30 years.
To know Rayburn, was to love Rayburn. He would always put a smile on your face with something silly to say. Rayburn was one of the nicest, hardworking, and loving man you will ever meet (& a little sarcastic too). His favorite things to do were to talk about anything and to watch football and root for the Tennessee Volunteers & the Tennessee Titans.
Rayburn will be dearly missed by all.
A ceremony in remembrance of Rayburn will be held in Nashville, Tennessee at a later date.
Arrangements entrusted to A Natural State Funeral Service. 2620 West Main Street, Jacksonville, Arkansas, 72076.
