August 11, 1957 — April 10, 2017

Donald Markham “Mark” Nail, age 59, of Baxley died Monday, April 10, 2017 at the Appling Healthcare System.

Mark was born August 11, 1957 to J. W. & Rita Hall Nail and had lived his entire life in Appling County, having attended Dyal Elementary School and Appling County High School.  Mark was the second of four sons born to J.W. and Rita Hall Nail, and was preceded in death by his father, J.W.
