J.B. was born in DeFuniak Springs, FL on December 8, 1953 to the late Eugene and Elvie Dee Miller Slay. J.B. owned and operated Slay Equipment for many years. His knowledge of heavy equipment was unmatched. J.B. enjoyed talking on the phone with his family and friends. If you talked to J.B., you knew about his unwavering love for Christ because he loved talking about the gospel, especially 1^st Corinthians, chapter 15 verses 1-4 “the gospel of your salvation” and Ephesians 1:13. J.B. would help anyone in need and would give you the shirt off his back. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him.
