Mr. Cornelious “Rex” Hinnant, 63, of Hazlehurst, passed away Sept. 27.
He was born in Gainesville, Fla., July 24, 1961, to Arthur H. Sr. and Beatrice Hinnant and lived most of his life in Hazlehurst. He worked as a logger for the Edge family for many years. Anyone who knew him knew he was hard working and energetic and would do anything for anyone. He was a man of men who would give you the shirt off his back. He had a big heart and loved his family and all his girls very much. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his wife of 42 years, Regina Hinnant.
Mr. Hinnant is survived by his son Ryan Hinnant of Hazlehurst; daughter Hollie Medders (Clint Carter) of Hazlehurst; brothers Arthur Jr., Anthony, Chris, and Rob Hinnant; grandchildren, Ashlyn, Adrian, and Amberlyn Hawkins, all of Hazlehurst; special “adopted” daughter Ashley Haley of Ft. Myers, Fla.; and several nieces and nephews he thought the world of.
A memorial service will be held later.
Wainright-Parlor Funeral Home is in charge.
