They were all very special to him. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Joe Ed Killough; and a sister, Hazel Ann Frazure.
He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Jane Killough of Monticello; three brothers, Bill Killough of Oklahoma, Jerry Killough and Mike Killough both from Jonesboro; along with a special niece, Suzy Jones of Bono, AR.
