Haney IV of North Carolina, Mary Vause (Michael) of Georgetown and J.R Haney (Katherine) of Myrtle Beach; his grandchildren, Damian Boggs, Lisa Renee Rhodes, Anthony Clyde Boggs Jr. and Jesse Cordell Mims; 10 great-grandchildren; his sister, Ann Kiser of North Carolina; his cat, Sierra; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
