J.R. a wonderful friend in the gospel ministry! Great times in revival at Immanuel baptist in Macon. Will miss seeing you both at the fair in Perry Ga

Cathy, Brandon, Amanda & Family,

God used JR's talent of artistic drawing and painting to move the largest mountains, triumphantly proclaim the Good News, and win many Souls to Christ. Some of JR's most powerful, uplifting, spiritually reviving, and Soul enriching sermons at Emmanual Baptist Church in Macon, Georgia involved music, an easel and canvas, and chalk or paint. JR spoke no words during the sermons but allowed God to guide JR's preciously gifted Hands to triumphantly exclaim and effectively spread the Word of God and the Good News to everyone. JR's Gift of Art was used and directed by God in His travels throughout this Nation attending and displaying his God-given talents at fairs, festivals, and carnivals.

JR's deep love for God's grandly created outdoor blessings were shared with many others around him. God paints us a glorious, outdoor picture to His children each day, whether it is a gloriously colorful sunrise slowly peaking over a grove of pine trees, the sparkling sun and breeze on the rippling waves of a Lake, the sweet sounds of birds awakening in the trees above a low-lying morning mist, or just the quiet peacefulness and comfort on a still, deep blue body of water.

God's World is the grandest and JR rejoiced and embraced every God-Given and Loving Moment of it. JR was a Kind, Humorous, Positive, God-Loving, Fun Soul and Christian Soldier. God blessed our Family by allowing JR and Family into Our Lives. My Mom & Dad richly enjoyed being "surrogate" Grandparents to both Amanda and Brandon. They were raised well as lead by the Hand of God.

Our prayers for Healing, Comfort, and Peace will continue for you and your family and friends. JR's artistic Hands now are in God's Hands. Sweet, Precious Soul.

Love,
Ronnie Sharpe

Ms. Cathy & family, I'm so very sorry to hear about my favorite youth pastor passing away! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I will forever cherish the memories from Bellevue and our youth trips. He was an amazing individual who loved the Lord and we always felt surrounded by love with him around.

Sending prayers and love to all of you. May he R I P
