Charlie Epps Jr. Obituary

Born to the late Charlie Epps, Sr. and Fannie Mae Cobbins, he was a man of unwavering faith, deep family values, and a heart full of love. He was the devoted husband of the late Melvina Epps, his loving partner of many years, who passed away in 2001. Together, they built a life filled with love and joy, raising their children with the same devotion they had for each other. He was a cherished father to Yolanda Epps Martin (Phillip), Alvin Wayne Epps (Phyllis), Cassandra Epps, and Michele Epps Kuykindall (Chris). His wisdom, humor, and warmth live on in his 9 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren, as well as in the treasured memories of nieces, nephews, and countless others whose lives he touched. Family and friends are invited to attend a Service Celebrating his life on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, for 11:00 a.m. at Mount Kingdom Missionary Baptist Church, 3756 Louisa Street, New Orleans, LA 70126 Visitation will begin at 10 a.m. Pastor Darrick Johnson, officiating.
