Mr. Griffin was a proud Marine Corps Veteran where he served our country during the Vietnam War. The Marine Corps also trained him to be a good husband. He was also a retired Horn Lake police officer. He loved his family and always made sure they were taken care of. He also had a servant’s heart and helped everyone who needed it whether they wanted the help or not. He had laughing blue eyes and a mischievous smile. Mr. Griffin was a good man and lived by his actions and not his words.
Mr. Griffin was preceded in death by his parents, Alton and Merle Griffin; and a brother, James Griffin.
He is survived by his wife of 26 years, Yolanda Griffin; one daughter, Crystal Hudson (Josh); two sons Matthew Purdom (Angie) and Matt Griffin (Kayla); 12 grandchildren: Matthew Turner, Amber Hudson, Hannah Hudson, Ethan “Squirrel” Millner, Aidan “Possum” Hudson, Gavin Hudson, Jason “Rabbit” Grose, Keely Griffin, Khloe Griffin, Kenzie Gracie, Addalyn Griffin, Cadence Griffin; two brothers: Billie Joe Griffin (Faye) and Jack Griffin; and four sisters: Cora Lee Morris (Joe), Nina Faye Poke (Oscar), Eloise McGowan (Earl), and Joan Mitchell.
