Richard Lynn Haynes, 70, of Anniston, Alabama, affectionately known as Rick, Daddy, and Pawpaw, passed away Saturday evening while holding his son's hand. He loved to watch westerns, Walker Texas Ranger, and Smokey and the Bandit on repeat.

He spent most of his life working at Lee Brass where he was nicknamed, "Sleepy."

He is preceded in death by his wife of 49 years: Vicki Sherrl Haynes, and Father: Billy Joe Haynes.
The family would like to extend special thanks to Dr. Grana, Joanna, Leighanne, Alicia, Val with Amedisys Home Health and Southern Care New Beacon Hospice.
