Sign In Buddy Head October 16, 1949 - November 15, 2021 Share Obituary: Tribute Wall Obituary & Events Share a memory Obituary Mr. W. Carson Head, known best as “Buddy”, passed away Monday, November 15, 2021, at his home. A native of Greene County, he was born October 16, 1949, the son of W. Wadeus and Lucy Sutton Head. Buddy had worked for many years in healthcare maintenance before acquiring Head’s Grocery in 2003 following the death of his father. Buddy owned and operated the business for several years until his semi-retirement. Never one to be idle, his retirement was short lived and what was to be “a little something to do” turned into a fulltime job with Rand Wade Oil Company where he covered the oil route; Buddy became a familiar face to many of their customers during his time there. Before the popularity of cooking shows and do it yourself meals, Buddy already possessed a keen talent and ability for the kitchen. Whether it was a pig on the cooker, chickens on the grill, or a pot on the stove, he was not at a loss when it came to preparing a great meal. While the last year presented health challenges, he still continued his summer ritual of opening the pool and always welcoming his grandchildren and extended family at any time to his home to swim and hang out. Buddy is survived by his children, Lisa H. Carter of Richlands, Tony C. Head and wife, April of Pikeville, and Joni H. Whitley and husband, Stevie of Pikeville; grandchildren, Ory Batchelor, Kelsey Whitley, Shaelyn Head and Kalee Head; a great-grandchild, Paisley; sisters, Barbara H. Tyson of Snow Hill, Diane H. Smith and husband, Steve of Snow Hill, and Tammy H. Lancaster and husband, Tim of Snow Hill. In addition to his parents, Buddy was preceded in death by two brothers-in-law, Jeff Stallings and Bobby Tyson. Funeral services will be held graveside 11 AM Thursday, November 18th, at the Snow Hill Cemetery. The family will receive friends on Wednesday evening from 6 – 8 PM at Taylor-Tyson Funeral Service and other times at Mr. Head’s residence.
