Doyce Ray McWaters (1939 - 2009)

Doyce Ray McWaters, 70, of Crestview, went home to be with his Lord on Friday, Oct. 9, 2009.

He was born July 22, 1939 in Milton, Fla. and was a lifelong resident of Northwest Florida.

Doyce graduated from Milton High School in 1957 and enlisted in the United States Air Force proudly serving his country. After completing basic training, he trained as a Morse Intercept Operator at Keesler AFB, Ms. Upon completion, he was selected for further training as a Non-Morse Intercept Operator at March AFB, Ca.

Doyce was a member of Woodlawn Baptist Church and enjoyed singing in the choir. After retiring from Frito Lay in 2002, he followed in his wife's footsteps and took up the game of golf, becoming a member and part owner of Foxwood Country Club. He was an avid sports fan known to cheer on the Braves, Seminoles and Celtics. Doyce loved fishing and also had a great love of country and gospel music; his favorites were George Jones and J.D. Sumner. An accomplished musician in his own right, Doyce enjoyed playing guitar with family and many friends.

Doyce was preceded in death by his father, Malvin McWaters; his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Woodrow and Gladys Harvell; brothers-in-law, Bobby and Roger Harvell, Ish Grogan; and nephew, David McWaters.

He is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Audrey McWaters; his children, Pam Reynolds and Todd McWaters; his grand-daughter, Tori Reynolds; his mother, Maudie McWaters; his siblings, Herman (Joan) McWaters, Faye (Jerry) Waters, Dwight McWaters, Martha (Howard) Peeler, Rick (Sara) McWaters; his brother-in-law Scoot (Donna) Harvell; and numerous nieces and nephews.
