Avery was a lifelong resident of Upstate SC, and was a proud graduate of Wade Hampton High School. Upon graduating from High School, he enlisted in the Air Force where he honorably served for the next four years. He was an avid fisherman and enjoyed the peace and serenity of spending time by the river. Avery loved football, particularly cheering on his Clemson Tigers and Carolina Panthers.
