Mr. Daughtry was born August 10, 1982 in Albany, GA son of Dora Louise Scheurer Daughtry and the late Willie Fred Daughtry, Sr. He was a professional painter by trade working for Creative Looks and A1 Painting. Willie Fred was known for his good humor, fashion sense and love of playing the guitar. He had a good heart, often “paying it forward” and performing random acts of kindness.
