Johnny "Red Fox" Fields, of London, Kentucky, was born on August 20, 1930 in Fogertown, Kentucky. He was the son of the late Isaac Fields and Stella Lyttle Fields. He was united in marriage to the love of his life, Sue Howard Fields, his devoted wife of 45 years, who survives him in London.
Red Fox leaves behind eight loving children: Delilah Owens and husband Charlie of Arkansas; Tammy Sizemore and husband Jeff, Beverly Fields, Sandra Fields, Bettina Fields Pennington and husband Jon, Tyler Fields and wife Jaclyn, and Monica Jackson and husband Shawn, all of London; and Rodney Roark and wife Sonya of Middle Fork, Kentucky. He is also survived by eleven grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, and four siblings-Bonnie Fields, Ward Fields, Timmy Fields, and Roy Fields, all of Michigan-along with a host of extended family and friends who will cherish his memory.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a beloved son, Russell Fields, and a sister, Lucille Fields.
Red Fox held deep affection and gratitude for the special siblings who helped raise and love him-the Hoskins Family: Yuvone, Odette, Jaclyn, Molly Ann, Barb, Charlotte, George, and Laney.
He worked proudly as a truck driver and spent many years owning and operating Fields Trucking, a job he truly loved. He enjoyed the open road and the independence that came with his work. Red Fox loved the Lord and was of the Christian faith.
