Dearon Bailey was known for his talent in oil painting. He loved to travel with his wife, Audrey, to places like Europe, Alaska, Hawaii, and different States, often through the church. Hunting deer was one of his passions, especially if camping or "roughing it" was part of the fun. He was always conscientious of the needs of others and lent a helping hand whenever he could. He loved the Lord and always tried to display Christian values as reflection of his love for Jesus.
