*Obituary Davis-Smith Funeral Home
Keith Edward "Big Thunder" Bailey, age 46, of Murfreesboro, died Wednesday, November 2, 2011, after fighting a courageous battle with cancer.
He was born on June 14, 1965, at Murfreesboro, the son of Jim Bailey and Wanda Morrow Bailey.
He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Otis and Vena Bailey; and his maternal grandparents, Gordon and Lucille Morrow.
A truck driver by trade, Keith, better known as "Big Thunder", drove over three million miles on our nation's highways without a single accident. He was a member of the Marlbrook Baptist Church in Blevins.

Keith would always say that in this lifetime, he was a truck driver. He drove all over the United States but he would always come home. Now, he has truly gone home!
