Otis Lee Hightower, Sr.

Otis was always proud of his time in the Marines, and his accomplishment of receiving a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Rochester, Rochester, NY. He was a teacher, and loved helping anyone he came in contact with, later on he went into customer service, and continued his love of helping people, and finally he dabbled in finance and loved being able to help grow wealth. That was part of his charm, always finding ways to make things better for the people around him. He loved golf, nature, and most of all travelling. But, above all this, his greatest accomplishment was being a father, and husband. He loved his wife and children with all his heart, and it showed in everything he did, and the smile on his face when he spoke of them. He truly wanted to build his own family, and he successfully accomplished that. He was a great man, with the biggest heart. He will be missed and loved eternally.

Otis is predeceased by his father, Rebecca “Jim Hightower. He is survived by his loving mother Velma King, stepmother, Carolyn Weathersby, loving wife Patricia Hightower, daughter, Cydonia Hightower, sons, Arjuna Hightower, Otis Hightower, Jr., Tayquon Hightower, and two grandchildren.

He is also survived by his sister, Jaqueline Hightower, Rebecca Hightower, Fayelicia Hightower, brothers, Sammy Hightower, Kenneth Hightower, Dennis Hightower, Jimmy Hightower, Tyrone Hightower, and Jerome Hightower. He is also survived by his many aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews who reside in New York, Georgia and Florida.
