He served in the Korean War from 1953-1955. He loved gardening, having as many as three large fields at one time, much to the dismay of his wife Joyce. Like his mother, Anna, Heyward had a green thumb and he enjoyed working the earth, yielding an abundance of vegetables and giving most away. His hobbies were quail, deer and turkey hunting. Having lost his eyesight at age 65, he continued to love and encourage his family. He enjoyed listening to Leland Live and Swap n Shop on the radio and was always keenly aware of politics. He could be found every Friday night listening to local football games and baseball games and his beloved Alabama Crimson Tide. Through God’s grace, he became a Christian at age 50. He accepted Christ as his Savior and was baptized by Bro. Fred Jones at Free Water FWB Church. He enjoyed southern and bluegrass gospel music. His family was always his joy and pleasure. He was loved and will be missed by his family and friends. Pallbearers were: Jared Chaffin, Aaron Pollard, Matthew Aston, Scott Shirley, Scott Hawkins, Derick Jones, and Nephews were Honorary Pallbearers, Joe Lolley, Ralph Lolley, Randy Lolley and Kenneth Lynn. The family of Heyward Lolley wishes to thank Guin First Baptist Church members and all the family and friends who have reached out with such love and kindness.
