He was born December 2, 1949 in Tampa, Florida; he was the son of the late Curtis and Marjorie Bailey. He retired from Southwest Florida Water Management District after 35 years. Avery was a source of Facebook information that he passed along each day. All will miss his poignant postings. He was a witty individual with a dry sense of humor and a quick grasp of movie, music and sports insights.
He is survived by his brothers and sister-in-law, Kenneth L. & Rita Bailey of Ogden, Utah and Timothy A. Bailey of Plant City, Florida; nieces and nephews in Florida and Utah; life-long friend, Donald Varn of Roswell, Georgia; companion, Karen Beasley of Brooksville, Florida.
A Gathering for family and friends will take place from 3:00-4:00pm, Monday, November 12, 2018 at Merritt Funeral Home, Brooksville Chapel, where a Memorial Service will begin at 4:00pm, with Reverend Doug Zipperer officiating. A Celebration of Life will follow the Services at the Rising Sun Bistro until 8:00pm.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations can be made in his name to Feeding America.
