He leaves to cherish his memory a devoted companion, Elaine Smith; three children, Anthony Lang of Creola, Marilyn Lang of Tyler, Texas and Tanja (Dewayne) Reed of McIntosh; one stepson, Frederick (Marcina) Lang of Mobile; stepdaughter, Falesa Lang of Mt. Vernon; a devoted granddaughter, MyKeia (William) Ely; a devoted great-granddaughter, Myla Lang, all of San Antonio, Texas; four brothers, Frankie (Annie) Reed of Mt. Vernon, Arthur (Freda) Reed of Florence, Vernon (Cynthia) Reed of Oklahoma City, Okla., and William (Nichelle) Reed of Creola; three sisters, Luretha Reed, Flora Reed and Geneva Lewis, all of McIntosh; one uncle, Cleveland Abrams of McIntosh; a devoted cousin, Laura Norwood of Leroy; with a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, numerous relatives and devoted friends.
