Dan Raley, pastor of First Baptist Church, Slocomb, for 28 years, died April 11. He was 60.
Raley attended Mobile College (now the University of Mobile) and received both his bachelor’s in theology and master’s in pastoral counseling from Andersonville Theological Seminary.
He was active in ministry for more than 45 years. Before his tenure at First, Slocomb, Raley was pastor of Babbie Baptist Church, Andalusia; Good Hope Baptist Church, Baker, Fla.; and First Baptist Church of Bagdad, Milton, Fla.
Dicky McAllister, director of missions for Geneva Baptist Association, noted that Raley was a man used of God and one who served his Lord, his family, his church and community well. “He was a very, very loving individual,” he said.
Raley is survived by his wife, Cecilia; three children; and seven grandchildren.
