Mr. Ford Pierson McCuistion, Jr., 82 of Dutton passed away on Tuesday, July 13, 2021 at his home. Graveside services were held in Rockwood, Tennessee.
Ford McCuistion was born in Tennessee to Ford, Sr. and Nelle Copper McCuistion. He retired from TVA’s Bellefonte Nuclear Power Plant where he worked as a blacksmith. Ford was a jack-of-all-trades and a master of many. He was a thinker, planner, designer, landscaper, builder and fabricator. From his home to his water features, if he could think of it, he could plan and build it. If he needed it, he would make it. Ford also enjoyed restoring old tractors, trucks and engines. Above all, Ford loved his family and liked nothing more than having them all get together for cookouts and gathering around a fire roasting marshmallows. He was bigger than life with an even bigger heart. Generosity was a significant part of his character. If you needed anything, Ford made sure you got it. He will be sorely missed by his family and all who knew him.
A family man, he is survived by his daughter, Tina (Bryan) Bowling; son, Jeff McCuistion; nine grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; several nieces and nephews, friends. He was preceded in death by his wife, Jennie McCuistion; daughter, Lisa Walker; son, Todd McCuistion; four brothers.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in Dutton.
