Wednesday, January 13, 2021 - Pike County Journal Reporter - Page 5A QBITUARIE. Lannie Milner Jimmy Hopkins Mr. Lannie Milner was born on July 8, 1955 to the late Mr. Henry Caleb Milner and the late Mrs. Lille Bell Milner in Concord, Georgia. He received his r i • formal education in the Pike County School System in Ze- bulon, Georgia. He furthered his education at David Lip scomb University in Nashville, Tennessee, where he majored in Physical Education and Theology. Lannie accepted Christ as his Savior at an early age. He was united with Camp Creek Church of Christ, where he was a Bible School Teacher and Worship Coordinator. Lannie was a faithful member until his passing. After high school Lannie enlisted into the United State Marines in August 1973 and was honorably discharged on August 13, 1975. Lannie was employed by the Pike County Board of Education as a Physical Education Teacher for twen ty-five years, retiring in 2008. Lannie was member of LBAC (Lipscomb Black Alumni Council). In his leisure time he enjoyed working on washing machines and other household appliances, taking road trips and the thing close to his heart was spending time with his family and friends. Some people walk this earth for a short time, their departure reminds us that angels are watching over us. On Tuesday, December 9, 2020, Mr. Lannie Milner was granted his wings and rejoined his Heavenly family. He entered Heaven knowing there would be no more pain or suffering, only everlasting joy with his Savior Jesus Christ. He was preceded in death by his parents, Mr. Henry C. Milner and Mrs. Lillie Bell Milner; brothers, Bobby Milner and Henry Milner, Jr., and his sister, Charlene Beckham. Those left to cherish his loving memories are his child, Keeya Milner; siblings, Lillie Mae Biles of Fayetteville, Harold Milner of Forest Park, Billie (Mary) Milner of East Point, Lila A. (Charles) King of Stockbridge, Bernice Onyeji of Rex, Cary Milner of Concord, Denise Hollis of Atlanta, Timmy Milner of Decatur and Isaac “Al” Milner of Riverdale; two grand daughters, Khania and Haadiya, and a very special aunt, Rose Greene of Columbus. He also leaves a host of nieces, nephews, cousin and friends that will miss him dearly. Visitation for Mr. Milner was held on Wednes day, December 16, 2020 from 4 to 6 p.m. at Burden’s Funeral Home. A Graveside Celebration was held on Thursday, December 17, 2020 at 1 p.m. at Moody’s Me morial Gardens. Pastor Tony Phillips was the Officiat ing Pastor and Pastor Dennis Gamble was the Eulogist. Mr. James Edward Hopkins, Sr., age 74, of Zebu- Ion, entered his heavenly workshop on January 9, 2021. He was born in Portsmouth, VA, son of the late John Hubert Hopkins, Sr. and Floyce Elaine Fowler Hopkins. Jimmy worked for Delta Air Lines for 29 years before retiring as a Senior Mechanic from Dept. 589. He was a Mason and Past Master of Montgomery Lodge #31 in Zebulon and the Yaarb Temple in Atlanta, a member of the Early Ford V8 Club, and a charter member of The Gathering in Thomaston. The first meeting of the group that became The Gathering was at Judy’s and Jimmy’s home. He enjoyed watching westerns, listening to classic country music, work ing, tinkering, fixing things, being a good neighbor and loving his family. Jimmy was hardheaded and yet softhearted, and if you knew him, you knew which way it went. He was naturally mechanically brilliant, not something that he learned from a book. He was a people person and always had a joke or a story. He had many nicknames: in high school he was “Doc,” at Delta he was “Gorilla,” his family called him James, but to most of us he was Jimmy. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his daughter, Bronwynn Nicole Weaver. Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 35 years: Judy Hopkins; sons: Jimmy Hopkins Jr. (Mar lene) of Woodstock, GA and Todd Hopkins (Beth) of Bradenton, FL; grandchildren: Abby McCollum (Matthew), Natalie Smith (Austin), Joshua Hopkins (Laura), Jacob Hopkins, Alex Beary (Ricky), Alana Kohn (fiance Jared Rashkin), Taylor Ann and C.J.; great-grandchildren: Maxwell James Smith, Maggie Kay Smith and Owen Beary; brother: John H. Hop kins, Jr. (Perry) of Monroe, GA; sister: Joyce Lorton (Danny) of Fayetteville, GA; several nieces and nephews. A public celebration will be held at The Gather ing, 456 Hannahs Mill Road, Thomaston, when all of Jimmy’s friends and family can gather safely. Pastor Charles Bennett will officiate. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Patriot Paws at PatriotPaws.org, an organization whose mission is to train and provide service dogs to disabled American veterans and others with mo bile disabilities in memory of his beloved Dickel-dog. Moody-Daniel Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.

Jesus Is Easy To Find “i revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me!’ Isaiah 65: 1, 2 Did you know there’s something God isn’t good at?! And, it’s a kids’ game we have all played, Hide-and-seek. Remember what fun it was searching for the perfect place to hide and not moving a muscle so that you wouldn’t give away your hiding place? The rush of adrenaline when you were finally found. Then there were all those great detective skills you had to put into use when it was your turn to be “it.” Keeping your ears open for the slightest sound. Watching for the slightest clue that would reveal a player’s location: a piece of clothing sticking out of a closet door, a pile of laundry piled a little too high, a slight movement behind the curtains, etc. In playing this game, most people don’t want to be found. Playing it with God is different. He doesn’t seem to know the rules. Instead of making Himself hard to find, God always seems to give away his “location.” Some times he makes it almost impossible to miss Him! Seek God through His Word and in prayer and you’ll be sure to find him.
