A native of Greer, son of the late Childs Leroy and Gladys Robinson Turner; he was a former employee of B & L Mechanical, and of the Baptist faith.

Surviving are two sons, Alvin Christopher "Chris" Turner (Casey) of Greer, South Carolina and Bradley Wayne Turner (Page) of Elkin, North Carolina; one brother, Michael Turner; one sister, Kathy Solesbee; and seven grandchildren, Kelsey, Chloe, Cody, Aybree, Chance, Norah, and Stella.
