Cecil Partridge Obituary
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.

My dad, Cromer Herman , loved to sit at Pap´s Hardware in Madison Heights and have great conversations with Pete and others there. Pete was a great man. I also had the great pleasure of knowing Mr. Partridge from working a the bank in Madison Heights.
God bless you all.

My condolences to the family. Pete was a great man. The love Pete had for his family, especially his wife, was something he expressed every chance he had. Pete would talk about his wife's recipes, what his children had going on and how his grandchildren were doing in school. We worked together at CVS pharmacy for many years and there was never a dull moment. Pete would always arrive early, but was ready to leave on time. To know Pete, he never met a stranger. My friend would come in the pharmacy talking about fishing, and Pete would ask him to hold on so he could talk to him about what type of fish he caught and where he fished. One day I asked my friend what he was doing, his response was "oh, I am at Pete's fishing. Pete wanted to show me some things."
Pete will definitely be missed by many and replaced by none.
