He spent his formative years in Nashville, where he developed a passion for music and community service, both of which would become cornerstones of his life. Vernon's father, Maxx, instilled in him the values of hard work and kindness, and Vernon carried these principles into all his endeavors. He was married to his soulmate, Bobbie Lee Hunter, with whom he shared many years of love and companionship before her passing. Together, they built a life filled with laughter, joy, and enduring memories. Vernon and Bobbie were blessed with a beautiful family that includes their cherished children: Ceara, Vernon Jr., and Vincent.

His love for music was contagious and served as a bridge connecting him with people from all walks of life, creating a tapestry of friendships that spanned decades. Vernon's passing leaves a void that cannot be filled, but his spirit lives on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. His legacy of kindness, integrity, and passion will continue to inspire and guide his family, friends, and community.
