Stuart Watson Epperson, Sr.

I miss my friend Stu who was one of the most godly men I ever knew. Heaven is sweeter and I know I will see him again someday. I am grateful that I knew him and enjoyed his fellowship on many trips to North Carolina for the furniture market. Some people impact your life forever. He is one of those special people that changed the world with his presence. God bless Nancy and Stu Jr. and all of their precious family.

Stu was one of the godliest men I have ever known. He had a big heart to love kids and point them to Jesus, those who needed a father in their lives. I look forward to seeing him again in heaven. I miss him.

When I first met Stu I was known as Jakob Nelson. Mr. Epperson had a great impact on my life, he took me in as a member of his family. I met him at Calvary Baptist Church when I was 12 or 13. My mom had been trying to find a mentor for me but I was to old for the Big brother Big sisters program. The first time I met him he took me out to eat with his family at macaroni grill and then had me rake leaves off his tennis court to earn money. He provided me a means to be able to make money honestly. When I was younger I broke into houses and so he told me that if I ever needed money I could come work for him in his yard. Mostly I would pick up sticks sometimes there would be other things like the time Bobby and I cut down a tree and pulled it with ropes. It would take me up to the house in Arat Virginia that he grew up in. Whenever I was locked up in prison he always accepted my calls also made sure to order Christmas packages for me so that I would have something special. The greatest thing that I could say that Mr. Epperson did for me was to just be there. He spent time with me doing a little things that weren't that important but he was there. I grew up without a father in my life and he filled a hole in my heart and life just by being available. I thank God that I met him. I just heard he had passed on 10/04/24 from Cindy ( bless that capable lady) and it is the first time I cried in years. I will surely miss him.

Stu was a great man, a wonderful friend and a humble friend of God. I miss him and always will. God bless you Stu and see you soon.

Dear Epperson family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your husband, father and grandfather. I have such fond memories of coming to your house and also joining the family and friends at Macaroni Grill after church. Just by observing, I learned so much about faith and family from both Mrs. And Mr. Epperson, and of course my dear dear friend Kristy. Love to you all. My condolences, Olivia (Park) Rogers

Stuart, Thank You for all your hard work and God Bless...

He was such an example of a godly man. He was always humble and made you feel right at home in his presence. Humane Nancy were a big part of my growing up in a Christian School. They will always be in my heart.
