Ira (Jr.) Cribbs (aka June Bug), passed away peacefully at the age of 80 on Sunday, October 23, 2022, surrounded by family.
He was born September 16, 1942, to the late Henry L. and Carrie L. (nee: Cribbs) Buck in Vernon, AL.

So very sorry for your loss, he was a wonder caring and encouraging brother! He really cared for my father when he was up and about ,my father had a great respect for him . I know he will be missed. Exercise your faith, trust in the resurrection you will see him again.
Kathryn Cribbs says
Dad is missed beyond words It’s so good to know he is missed by his many friends in Jehovah who he considered is family. They were there in the beginning and in the end. It will be wonderful when he returns back in the resurrection along with his mother father son sister brothers and many many friends. Can’t wait to tell him all that transpired after he left. Miss him for now with Jehovah’s promise will see him again 🙂
Love
Kathryn
