Otis Layton Day, age 74, of Marietta, GA, passed away on October 30, 2023, in the comforting presence of his family. Otis is preceded in death by his parents, Leonard & Amelia Day, sister, Minnie Oakes, and brothers, Carl and Lenny Day.
Otis was born in 1949 in Citronelle, Alabama, to Leonard and Amelia Day. He embodied hard work, honesty, generosity, and kindness in every aspect of his life. His faith was boundless, and he had a great relationship with the Lord. Otis proudly served East Cobb since 1971 as a small business owner through his auto repair shop, which he took great pride in. In his spare time, he enjoyed fishing, hunting, and telling stories in abundant detail - but most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his beloved family and traveling with his love, Sherry. Family and faith were at the forefront of his existence, and the imprint he left on his family will last far beyond this moment.
Otis is survived by his wife, Sherry Day, daughter and son-in-law, Leslie and Barry Kinkead, grandson, Luke Brooks, brother, Jesse Day, sister-in-law, Janette Day, numerous nieces and nephews, and many other close loved ones.
The family will receive guests between the hours of 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. on Friday, November 3, at H.M. Patterson & Son – Canton Hill Chapel (1157 Old Canton Road Ne, Marietta, GA 30068). A funeral service will follow at 1 p.m. Entombment will take place at Rolling Hills Memory Gardens (4355 Hwy 92, Acworth, GA 30102) immediately after service.
