May God bless the soul and memory of Mr. Willie Mays III . Truly a great servant to our community and his profession. Our families have known each other for two generations . My prayers are with the family at this time.

Through the wide benevolent spirit of Mr. Mays, everyone was greeted and treated with dignity of family. A premier storyteller, the open heart of Mr. Mays is also a vault of Augusta's cultural heritage. From days spent with his great aunt iconic educator Ursula Collins, his grandmother Haines Institute graduate Ethel Hudson Mays, his extended family in Lincoln County, and recalling the verve of his father's memories he meticulously absorbed the accolades, tribulations, and daily experiences...

My heartfelt condolences to Lisa, the Mays family and the staff of Mays Funeral Home.
May you be comforted by the outpouring of love surroundings you, during this difficult time.

Willie’s love, compassion, empathy to all families and to the communities will never be forgotten... Yes, He will missed because He loved the people and the people loved Him.
May you “Rest ln Peace,” for you’ve fought a good fight!

I have known Mr. Mays since I was a teenager. He was always so kind and would do anything to help anybody. He has taken care of all funeral needs of just about my whole family. Sincere, gentle, compassionate, and unforgettable are the words that I can best describe him. He will be truly missed and definitely left a mark in the world that can never be erased. Thank you Mr. Mays for all that you have done for my family. Shalonda Vann McNair
