Services for Mr. Ivan Raymond Moulds, also known as “Tinker” or “Gerald”, will be held privately. Visitation will be held Thursday evening, June 20, 2024, from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at Webb & Stephens Funeral Home-Downtown.

Mr. Moulds, 88, of Meridian, passed away Tuesday, June 18, 2024, at Ochsner Rush Hospital.

Ivan served in the United States Air Force. At one time, he was stationed in Hawaii where he set up communications on the base, before it became a state. He was also a retired auto body repairman, often referred to as the “best body man in Meridian”. When fiberglass auto bodies were introduced, he was one of the first and few that repaired them. However, he will be remembered most as a loving father and grandfather.

He is survived by his children, Tina Moulds Estes and Ivan Raymond Moulds II; grandchildren, Larry Wayne Murphy II (Jonah), Jared Devon Cooley (Ashley), Joshua Daniel Moulds (Kellie), Danielle Marie Moulds, and Zachary Lee Moulds; great grandchildren, Trey Murphy, Addison Murphy, Ryder Cooley, Devon Cooley, and Keagan Moulds; step great grandchildren, Cheyanne and Justice; sisters, Yvonne Moulds Thornhill, Jan Moulds Branton, and Vita Moulds Flint (Scott); nephew, Gary Thornhill; and beloved niece, Rhonda Pat Thornhill.

He is preceded in death by the mother of his children, Jone McLemore Moulds; mother, Mary Thellis Ezell Moulds; father, Clinton Murray Moulds; and step mother, Daisy Hollingsworth Moulds.
