Mr. Herrell, son of the late Charles Roy Herrell, Sr. and Ruth Elizabeth Herrell, was born November 4,1963 in Cleveland, Ohio. He was Baptist by faith and a member of the American Trucker’s Association. Mr. Herrell worked for many years at Brunswick Lanes Bowling Alley in Hixson, Tennessee. He later teamed up with his brother as a truck driver and drove for over 35 years all over the United States. Mr. Herrell enjoyed going to classic car shows and model car shows as well. He was one that went to flea markets and was known as an avid shopper. Mr. Herrell also enjoyed taking cruises and working on electronic devices and computers.
