Cecil Gordon "Pete" Partridge

1941 - 2023

Pete Partridge, 81, of Monroe, Virginia, passed away at home surrounded by family on Tuesday, February 7, 2023.

Born in Woodbury, Georgia, on August 29, 1941, Pete was the son of the late Julia Elizabeth Anderson Partridge and Cecil Gordon Partridge Sr. He was a retired pharmacist and business owner. He owned several Christian gift stores, opened Pete's Pharmacy in Wauchula, Florida, and owned Pap's Hardware in Madison Heights, Virginia.

Pete is survived by his wife of 61 years, Patricia Anne "Pat" Kelly Partridge; his children, Michael Todd Partridge (Roseanna) of Lakeland, Fla., Kelly Good (Frank), Pam Huffines, and Amy Overstreet, all of Monroe, Virginia; and his sister, Patsie Bargeron (Don) of Augusta, Georgia. He was preceded in death by his sister, Judy Butler. He and Pat have 13 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.

Pete loved God with his whole heart. His desire was for his family and those he met to know and love Jesus. He took every opportunity to tell anyone he could that Jesus loves them. He was a humble man who believed in the power of prayer and the inerrant truth of God's word.

Singing of the promises of God was one of his favorite pastimes. He loved animals and spent much of his retirement riding his 4-wheeler, planting trees, and preserving the land that he loved.

He was buried in a private ceremony on the family farm. We grieve, but not as those without hope; we know we will see him again in Heaven one day.
