Mark Lytle Tenpenny

Mr. Mark Lytle Tenpenny, 58, of Auburntown, Tennessee passed away on Sunday, February 26, 2023. He was born in Woodbury, Tennessee on Saturday, October 3, 1964. He is survived by his daughters, Abby (Colton) Tuck of Auburntown and Paige (Lane) Francis of Morrison; mother, Barbara Tenpenny of Auburntown; father, Lytle Tenpenny of Murfreesboro; grandchildren, Hunter, Jordan, Levi, and Kelly Tuck all of Auburntown; close cousin, Travis Turney of Auburntown; and several other cousins and extended family members.

Mark graduated from Cannon County High School with the Class of 1982 and went on to Tool & Die School in McMinnville, Tennessee. Putting his degree and talents to work, Mark most recently worked at Nissan. But for his younger years and majority of his working life, he enjoyed working for BetterBilt, which also matched his personality and interests. Namely, those interests were travel, music, and food!

BetterBilt afforded Mark the opportunity to travel all over the United States doing window repairs and replacements. His exceptional sense of direction kept him on track without a GPS, while his spirit of adventure kept him roaming from here to there. It was a wonder how he managed to always seem like he knew exactly where he was going, but that might be attributed to Mark’s happy-go-lucky personality.

He didn’t get mad over anything and was just along for the ride. Many of those rides became motivated by Mark’s love for good music and food. Having a flexible schedule and being on the road meant that Mark could attend concerts on a whim. To his family, it always seemed like he was at one, and while he was in town, he was sure to sniff out the best food in the area.

The way to Mark’s heart may have actually been through his stomach. He was a foodie with the taste buds of a food critic. Once a place impressed him, he didn’t forget about them. He loved to share that knowledge with others and frequently met friends and family for a meal. You’d never know who he was going to be eating with because it seemed to be a different person all the time. But even though his lunch acquaintances were a revolving door, Mark did a good job of keeping up with his connections.

He became fluent in the language of CB and Ham radios. From Cannon County locals to the rapper, Sir Mix-a-Lot, Mark talked with just about everyone on the radio. His call sign was a difficult thing to remember because most people knew him by a more memorable name. For local purposes, “Double Nickel” was his name, but when he was out on the road he was better known as “Stray Dog.” While it is obvious where “Double Nickel” came from, “Stray Dog” was a little bit more of a mystery. However, it may have been influenced by his days enjoying his passion for coon hunting.

If you knew Mark though, there was one thing for certain. You couldn’t know Mark without knowing his girls. He was very protective of Abby and Paige and stayed active in their lives. A man of action, he constantly put his money where his mouth was. When he wanted to push the girls in sports, he had no qualms with becoming their coach for softball or basketball. Mark went as far as to get on the field for himself, playing in the adult softball league for the BetterBilt team.

And Mark’s love for music? He passed it on and made sure Colton and Lane got a heaping dose too. In the spur of the moment, Mark would hear about and decide to go to a concert. Many times, he didn’t know until 30 minutes before he needed to leave (or less) that he was going. That meant calling his girls while he was headed out the door to meet him at the concert. All of that training on moving quickly on the field and down the court paid off because they often needed to be ready and rolling at a moment’s notice.

That speed and spontaneity was also engrained in them from a young age with all of their camping trips together. Every other weekend, they were packing up the camper and headed somewhere for another adventure. So when Abby and Paige got married, Mark again got to pass along his sense of adventure and wisdom. This time, it was to Colton and Lane. Mark and Colton talked extensively about camping, but if either of the guys had a date or trip lined up, Mark mapped out all of their food stops. He made sure the girls were eating the very best the whole way there and back. As for wisdom, there was no telling what Mark and Lane would be on the phone about but they both talked enough to solve most of the world’s problems.

Now, when Mark wasn’t working, mapping out his next trip, going to a concert, eating, or being with his girls, he might take the time to take a load off and stay for a few rounds of golf. However, you were much more likely to find him being active in the community and community events. Mark enjoyed going to the antique car shows on the square in Woodbury, but Auburntown was the community that held his affections and where he called home.

Auburntown is known for being a close-knit community, and Mark took that to heart. He served with the Auburntown Volunteer Fire Department and was willing to offer wisdom whenever he could. He got involved in the efforts to support and defend the community that’s been cultivated since 1949, attending meetings and expressing concerns. Though Mark was usually happy-go-lucky, defending the futures of his girls and now his grandchildren took priority. It’s with broken hearts that his family, his friends, and his community lay him to rest.

Visitation will be held at Gentry-Smith Funeral Home on Wednesday, March 1, 2023 from 4-8 pm. Graveside services will be Thursday, March 2, 2023 at 2 pm at Donnell Cemetery in Auburntown. Those wishing to be part of the procession to the cemetery should meet at Gentry-Smith Funeral Home at 1:00 pm. David Dunn will officiate.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Auburntown Volunteer Fire Department.

Joshua Davenport

Mr. Joshua “Josh” Davenport, 38, of Milton, Tennessee passed away on Thursday, February 16, 2023. He was born in Woodbury, Tennessee at the Stones River Hospital on Sunday, February 19, 1984. Preceding him in death were his father, Eddie Davenport, Sr; and grandparents, Jack S. and Sally Davenport and Diana Barrett Schuler.

He is survived by his children, Brady and Cynthia Davenport, both of Bradyville, and Wyatt Davenport of Murfreesboro; mother, Lisa (Jimmy Powers) Davenport of Woodbury; siblings, Eddie (Kelly) Davenport, Jr. of Readyville, Jeremiah Davenport, who is also Josh’s twin, of Readyville, Leslie (Jeremy) McGregor of Woodbury, and Charles (Jacqueline) Davenport of Woodbury; grandfather, Vance (Melinda) Schuler of Asheboro, NC; nieces and nephews, Lindsay Powers, Abby Davenport, Lane Davenport, and Oakleigh Thomas; and close friend, Timmy Haynes.

Born just after his twin, Jeremiah, Josh made sure to live up to being the younger sibling, especially since he was the bigger of the two. As a baby, he would steal Jeremiah’s bottles, so there was no question as to how Josh got the nickname “Biggun.” Though Jeremiah caught up in his nutritional needs, he and Josh still had opposite personalities. The common bond they shared lied in their tempers and football.

Football was a good outlet for the boys, and Josh played for four years at Cannon County High School as a linebacker. Even though he had a temper, Josh could be a gentle giant. He was good hearted and would give you the shirt off his back. That is unless you messed with his family. Being a protector ran through his veins, and that went double for his mom and his children.

His burly build and stature was enough to back anyone down from a potential fight, and working as a mechanic and well digger throughout his life only added to his strength and grit. That gruff exterior quickly melted though in the presence of his children. He was excited to have a family, so excited, that Brady and Cynthia were born back to back, getting to be Irish twins for a week.

Even though most family members shy away from working together, Josh jumped at the opportunity to do well digging with Brady. They were best friends, and Josh had them jamming out in the truck on the way to work. Enjoying an eclectic blend of music, he was sure to introduce Brady to all sorts during their four months working together. He could goof off and work with the best of them, and that was a trait he wanted to pass on to Brady.

Now, when Josh wasn’t working, he was usually tinkering. Josh tinkered with mechanical and electric objects and was proud of his creations. He had projects galore at all times, and there was no telling what he was going to take for a project. Though he would protect his mom from others, he wasn’t keen on protecting her stuff from his projects. When he needed a wire for something, his mom’s favorite lamp was the first thing within view with just the part he needed. That mind for creating and inventing also had Josh convinced he could make a better flashlight.

Speaking of light, Josh saw the light on September 10, 2001 when he made the decision to be baptized at Plainview Baptist Church. He faced many trials and temptations throughout his life, but one thing he was always certain of was his love for his family. It’s with broken hearts they lay their son, their brother, their father, and their friend to rest.

Visitation will be held at Gentry-Smith Funeral Home on Thursday, February 23, 2023 from 4-6 pm. Memorial services will follow on Thursday, February 23, 2023 at 6 pm in the Gentry-Smith Funeral Home chapel. Eugene Bull will officiate.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to assist with future expenses.

James Alex Earls, Jr.

Mr. James Alex “Jimmy” Earls, Jr., 67, of Readyville, Tennessee passed away on Tuesday, February 14, 2023. He was born in Fort Chaffee, Arkansas on Wednesday, August 10, 1955. Preceding him in death was his father, James Alex Earls, Sr.

He is survived by his mother, Mary Joyce Tyner of Colorado; son, Lucas Earls of Readyville; daughter, Shelby Earls of Woodbury; brother, Michael Earls of Springfield; sister, Vickie (Jimmie) Martinez of Colorado; and grandchildren, Paisley Young, Bryson Fox, and Cercie Earls.

Being drafted into a military lifestyle, Jimmy had the opportunity to travel, but he always managed to make it back home to Cannon County. He started off at Woodbury Central High School but ended up finishing up at Yamato High School in Japan. Akin to a fish out of water, Jimmy was determined you could take the boy out of the country, but you couldn’t take the country out of the boy. He proved that over and over in his lifetime with his attraction to the water, creek water that is.

His roving lifestyle worked well with his passion for fishing. If he wasn’t catching anything, he could just move up the creek or on to the next one. But his moving actually lessened once he got to the creek. Jimmy had creek fishing figured out and thought of himself as “King of the Creeks.” That was an inheritance of wisdom and passion that he wanted to pass on.

He took Lucas on his first fishing trip as a boy down to the Stones River, and Jimmy didn’t disappoint. It was a good day fishing with many catches hooked and memories made. When Vickie got married, Jimmy was sure to break in the fresh bait taking her husband along with him and Lucas. However, fishing was far from the extent of Jimmy’s abilities.

A talented individual with his hands, Jimmy could do anything from paint you a picture to landscape your garden. His paintings and drawn portraits were often placed on irons and sawblades. As for the masonry, you can see his work in the community. Jimmy took part in laying the rock for the Senior Citizen Center’s sign, and rumor has it, he may also have had a hand in making the sign in front of the Cannon County Sheriff’s Department.

Though all of those were amazing creations on their own, Jimmy didn’t limit himself to just paint, metal, and rock. Instead, if he could find a material, he was going to make something. His woodworking skills developed as he made anything from picture frames to entertainment centers for people. You can still see Jimmy’s appreciation for art and craftsmanship as it lives on in his children through their work and their tattoos.

Visitation will be held at Gentry-Smith Funeral Home on Saturday, February 18, 2023 from 4-8 pm. Memorial services will be held at a later date.

Jace L.G. Carmack

Jace L.G. Carmack of Woodbury, Tennessee passed away on Saturday, February 4, 2023. Preceding him in death were his mother, Brittany Annette Carmack; great grandparents, Willie L.G. & Dianna Catherine Carmack and Haskel Arzo & Mary Elizabeth Merritt; and cousin, DJ Carmack.

He is survived by his father, Gibson Lawrence Siviter, grandparents, Billy Ray & Mary Ellen Carmack, Lawrence & Samantha Siviter, and David & Melinda Stacey; sisters, Aubree Elaine Carmack and Journee Jade Carmack; uncle, Haskel Dewayne (Jackie Caffey) Carmack; aunt, Kaitlyn Jeanette (Dalton Green) Carmack; step-uncle, Billy “BJ” Smith; step-aunt, Elizabeth Belcher; cousins, Remington Kenneth Ryder Carmack, Colton James Carmack, Jeremiah Ray Caffey, Lazarus Carmack, Bronson Carmack, Elizabeth Jane Carmack, and Tinsley Vanessa Caffey; and several great great aunts and uncles, great aunts and uncles, and extended family.

Jace’s arrival was a highly anticipated event. Brittany always wanted a boy, and she was just certain that he’d be a momma’s boy since his birthday was going to be so close to hers. But Brittany wasn’t the only one excited. She and Gibson both stumbled upon so much more happiness and love when they figured out they were pregnant. The rest of the family also stood at the ready to welcome baby Jace into the world, and they were prepared to spoil him rotten so maybe his head wouldn’t be as hard as Brittany’s was.

Aubree and Journee were looking forward to being big sisters and to little Jace becoming their baby doll. Brittany already planned on playing dress up and getting him his very own set of boots to wear. She and Gibson had so many experiences they were overjoyed to share with their bundle of joy. Four wheeling, fishing, camping, and trips to the beach reached the top of the list. They wanted to get him out on a boat and hoped he loved the water as much as they did.

Oh, and the tales to be told! From Gibson and Brittany growing up to all of the family adventures had and memories made, they were ready to have enough stories to fill an entire library of books. Most importantly though, they wanted Jace’s life centered around family. Being around those who loved him and encouraged him would have been Jace’s life. Even though he never made it into the arms of his family, he traded them for the arms of Jesus.

Visitation will be on Thursday, February 16, 2023 from 4-8 pm at Gentry-Smith Funeral Home. Funeral services will be on Friday, February 17, 2023 at 2 pm in the Gentry-Smith Funeral Home chapel. Tim Gentry will officiate. Interment will be in Riverside Cemetery.

Brittany Annette Carmack

Brittany Annette Carmack, 28, of Woodbury, TN passed away on Saturday, February 4, 2023. She was born in Smithville, Tennessee on Wednesday, April 27, 1994. Preceding her in death were her grandparents, Willie L.G. & Dianna Catherine Carmack and Haskel Arzo & Mary Elizabeth Merritt; and nephew, DJ Carmack.

She is survived by her parents, Billy Ray and Mary Ellen Carmack; daughters, Aubree Elaine Carmack and Journee Jade Carmack; boyfriend, Gibson Lawrence Siviter; brother, Haskel Dewayne (Jackie Caffey) Carmack; sister, Kaitlyn Jeanette (Dalton Green) Carmack; step-brother, Billy “BJ” Smith; step-sister, Elizabeth Belcher; nephews, Remington Kenneth Ryder Carmack, Colton James Carmack, Jeremiah Ray Caffey, Lazarus Carmack, and Bronson Carmack; nieces, Elizabeth Jane Carmack and Tinsley Vanessa Caffey; and several great aunts and uncles, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends.

Country as cornbread and a southern bell, Brittany grew up doing anything from riding four wheelers to beauty pageants. That grit and elegance boded well for riding horses, and her charm and wit kept people around her, especially her close friends, Kayla Stephenson Duncan and Emily Whittemore Bess. They attended Woodbury Grammar School and Cannon County High School together, but Brittany was strong willed and decided school wasn’t the path she wanted to go.

If it gives you any insight as to who she was, her Uncle Ricky gave everyone nicknames, and the one that stuck for Brittany was “Rubberhead.” She was stubborn and always had to get the last word. Quick witted, a comeback was bouncing out of her mouth as soon as you’d finished talking. None of it was done out of hate though. Brittany was someone who was full of love and loved to cut up. Proverbs 12:25 says, “Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad,” and Brittany wasn’t going to worry about things beyond her control. Instead, she focused her energy toward spreading happiness into the hearts of everyone she met through word and deed.

Brittany gave abundantly to others. Seeing her out and about, her cheerful disposition kept a smile on her face as well as everyone else’s. She came preprogrammed with the wisdom to not take things too seriously. Her outlook was, “Today is today. I’m living life.” But whether it was a smile, a piece of wisdom, or some assistance, Brittany was sure to give freely to others. Leaving high school and having a wandering spirit gave Brittany ample opportunities to continue sharing joy. Over the years, she worked at Yorozu, Amazon, and Taco Bell, to name a few, but she never stayed in one place for too long. She must have realized that it would have been a shame to bottle up so much happiness and love in one place.

But people weren’t the only ones Brittany had her sights set on. Whenever she needed to recharge her social batteries, adventure called her name. She loved camping and being on the lake. At bonfires and on boats topped her list on where she wanted to be. The family enjoyed going out on the boat to watch fireworks for the 4th of July, and Brittany’s eyes gave the fireworks a run for their money on lighting up. But in Brittany’s eyes, there was one place better than the woods and the lake. The ocean! Her attraction to the water matched her go with the flow personality, and she still talked about their family trip to Destin, Florida. Since the beach was a rarer occasion, Brittany combined her love for camping with her love for music. Bonnaroo became an event that she looked forward to and made a habit of going.

In each aspect of her life, Brittany had a theme cropping up. Family. She loved her family, and her life revolved around them. With a 9-year age gap between her and Kaitlyn, Brittany made sure she was still part of her life. And being the middle child with her personality? Brittany also made sure her involvement was memorable. Sibling shenanigans were not in short supply. On a camping trip to the lake, Brittany tried to hit Dewayne with a broom fooling around, and another time, she chased Kaitlyn down the stairs after a lobbed teddy bear went wrong and the eye hit Brittany in the face. These memories seem simple, but they will become cherished tales.

Now, it wasn’t only her siblings that have tales to tell on Brittany. Just like she did with everyone else, she was sure to spread the love. Even being called “Rubberhead,” Brittany always managed to find a way over to Uncle Ricky’s house, and in one of her last conversations with her mom, Pa Willie came up. She and Mrs. Mary reminisced of when Brittany got her hair cut, pulled her boots on, and just had to tell Pa because she was so proud of herself. Time spent and memories made with Bob Nichols and John Boy as well as other family members and close friends rush to the forefront of her family’s minds.

Most of all though, these experiences that became memories made Brittany who she was. It was these experiences that formed and shaped her into a devoted and loving mother to her precious babies. It breaks the family’s hearts to know they will grow up without her, but whether it’s through tales around the campfire or her old TikTok videos, Brittany lives on in their hearts.

“Love lives on forever in each memory and thought

Of the special ones who meant so much and the happiness they brought.

Love lives on forever – it will never fade away –

For, in our hearts, our loved ones are with us every day.” – Unknown
