Howard Leslie Binkley, age 91, of East Point, Kentucky, formerly of Ashland City, passed away Thursday, February 29, 2024 at Highlands ARH Regional Medical Center.
Mr. Binkley was born on September 18, 1932, in Nashville, Tennessee, to the late Jerome & Alice Morris Binkley.
He was a veteran of the U.S. Army and was also a retired truck driver for TDOT.
In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his wife, Geraldine Binkley; and a son, Randy Binkley.
Survivors include his nephews, Tim, Jerry, and Jason Boyd; and a great- nephew, Jessie Boyd.
Howard was a faithful servant of the Lord and often spoke on how much he was looking forward to meeting his Master and Savior. He greatly missed his wife Geraldine and spoke often how he wanted to be with her. His last hours on this Earth were spent in prayer and praise.
During his life here, he was never ashamed or unwilling to talk to anyone about Jesus. His love for the Lord led him to attend many churches as he sought always to gain a greater understanding. He was a very sociable, thoughtful and kind person who enjoyed meeting new people and was almost always smiling, especially when talking about his faith. He was an inspiration to many.
He will be missed, but not with sadness or grief. He is exactly where he wants to be.
