Mr. Randall Jackson McCullers
Obituary
Mr. Randall Jackson McCullers, age 69, went to be with The Lord on Wednesday morning, Feb. 3, 2010. Randy was a kind and gentle man with a special place in his heart for everyone he met, especially children.
Randy graduated from Robert E. Lee Institute with the Class of 1959. He was a member of the National Guard Station in Thomaston for 6 years and was activated during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He was employed for Atlantic Steel in Atlanta for 18 years, where he worked as a fire brick mason. His Cherokee-Choctaw heritage and love for Indian artifacts led many friends to affectionately call him "Chief," from which came the name of their flea market business, "Chief's Knives and a Little More." Randy had a gift for words in writing poetry and in making friends far and wide.
Randy was preceded in death by his mother and father, Ivy Mae Pfannkuche McCullers and Burl Jackson McCullers, formerly of Thomaston. He is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, DeVane Hall McCullers; sister, Shelby (Johnny) McCullers Sprinkle of Jacksonville, FL; sister-in-law, Laraine (Mike) Hall Ayers of Newnan, GA; niece, Shannon Sprinkle of Jacksonville, Florida; niece, Holly (Alan) Jones McKenzie of Newnan, GA; nephews, Stephen (Amanda) Ayers of Fairmount, GA, and Kevin (Fifi) Ayers of Jackson, GA; as well as beloved great-nieces and great-nephews, Arrie and Aydan McKenzie of Newnan, GA, Addison Ayers of Fairmount, GA, and Logan Ayers of Jackson, GA.
Visitation will be Saturday, Feb. 6 from 2-4 p.m. at Coggins Funeral Home, 321 Hannahs Mill Rd., Thomaston, GA. A Celebration of Life will follow at 4 p.m. in the Coggins Funeral Home Chapel. Directions can be obtained at http://www. cogginsfuneralhome.com
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial gifts be made to Emory Chapel United Methodist Church, 2677 W. Hwy. 34, Newnan, GA 30263, where Randy and DeVane were active in support of the Children's and Youth Ministries.
