Pearley Rose
1938—2023
Pearley Rose, 84, of Logan, W.Va., went to be with Jesus on Feb. 10, 2023, after fighting a long-term illness. He passed away at home surrounded by family and his best friend, Max, his dog.
He was born Aug. 28, 1938 to the late Rile and Lola Newsome Rose. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his late wife, Barbara Gail, his son, David Rose and his daughter, Teresa Rose.
Pearley spent many years driving coal trucks before starting his own small business transportation company. He enjoyed woodworking in his free time, and you would never catch him without his “poke.”
Those left to cherish his memory include his wife of 20 years, Deborah Dotson Rose; children Darrell (Regina) Rose of Mooresburg, Tenn., and Chiequita (Jerry) Whitlock of Campbellsville; grandchildren, Nicole (Kip) Lyons, Chasity (David) Rose, Amanda Rose, Kasey (Wayne) Curry, Jarrett (Shiann), Marshall Lowe, David Lowe and Traci Rose; 19 great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; stepdaughter, Nichole G. (Warren) Maxwell of California; and three step-grandchildren.
Jarrett Whitlock, Jerry Whitlock, Kip Lyons, David Rose, Ethan Rose, Landon Rose, Isaiah Rose, and Evan Rose will be pallbearers. Roger Blankenship, Anthony Brewer and Gary Ball will be honorary pallbearers.
A special thank you to Pearley’s caretakers, Johnna Taylor and Lisa Selly, and Dignity Hospice of Chapmanville, W.Va.
Visitation will be from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 16, 2023, at the Lighthouse Community Church in East Kermit. The funeral will be conducted at 1 p.m. at the church with Pearley’s pastor Scottie Dingess and Margie Brewer officiating. Burial will follow at the Rosetown Cemetery on Marrowbone.
