Arthur Harvey Day Jr.

“Mr. Arthur Harvey Day Jr., passed away on Tuesday, December 4, 2018 at Jackson Hospital. Mr. Day was preceded in death by his parents, Arthur Harvey Day Sr. and Ruby Day; and his daughter, Jennifer Day. He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Donna Day; and his son, Edward Day. He is also survived by four sisters: B.J. Thistrup, Patsy Hicks, Clara Day and Melody Davis, and numerous other beloved extended family members. Mr. Day was honorably discharged from the United States Air Force after eight years of service to the country that he loved. Just after basic training, he met his future wife, Donna Burns at the air base bowling alley in Cheyenne, Wyoming. They were blessed with the birth of their two children; Jennifer Day and Edward Day. Mr. Day was born and raised in Selma, Alabama where most of his family resided. Towards the end of his service in the military, he relocated Donna and the children back to Selma. Remaining in the Central Alabama area, he loved spending his time either in the woods hunting, on the river fishing, or cheering for Auburn Football on game days. The only other thing that he loved more was spending time with his family. It has been said countless times that his entire family was the closest and most loving. He was a graduate from Auburn University in Business and retired from Jackson Hospital after 28 years of faithful service in the Accounting Department where he touched so many lives.
