Rock Springs hosted
Mark Richt for men’s
ministry night
Rock Springs Church
hosted a men’s ministry
event with guest speaker
Mark Richt on Aug. 6.
“The heart behind
this event was more
than just a night of fun.
We’re always pushing
men towards two things:
Jesus and fellowship,”
said Men’s Ministry Pas
tor Justin Weldon. “Mark
Richt shared powerful
words about mentor
ship, and the heart of our
Men’s ministry is for men
to grow closer to Christ
and pour into others.”
The Men’s Night
attendees enjoyed axe
throwing, corn hole, and
other lawn games while
eating burgers, grabbing
coffee from The Ramblin’
Tap, viewing a car show,
and participating in the
raffle for a new Traeger
Grill! Later in the eve
ning, the men gathered
in the sanctuary to hear
a wonderful interview
with guest speaker Mark
Richt as he shared his
testimony.
“Some people meet
their hero and wish they
hadn’t. 1 can say with cer
tainty that Marie Richt is
the real deal,” said senior
pastor Benny Tate. “He’s
a wonderful, godly man,
and there’s a lot more
in the warehouse than
there is in the showroom.
It was a privilege to have
Coach Richt at Rock
Springs Church.”
All proceeds from the
event benefited the Rock
Springs Recreational
Complex Phase 2. Rock
Springs Church is at 219
Rock Springs Road in
Milner. For more informa

OBITUARIES
Charles Beckham
Charles William Beckham (Charlie or Beck as he
was known to most) passed away at home with his
loved ones in the afternoon of August 31, at the age
of 93. The youngest of three
children, Charles was born
June 17, 1928 in Molena,
Georgia where he lived
most of his life.
In March 1946 Charlie
enlisted in the Navy at the
age of 16, with the reluctant
permission of his parents,
Enoch Leon and Mary Jane
(Cheek) Beckham. Just
missing his goal of fighting
in WW11, Charlie served in
San Diego, California and
Maui, Hawaii, rising to the rank of Yeoman 3rd Class.
During this time, he proudly served on the aircraft
carrier, USS Valley Forge. At the end of his tour of
duty, Charlie returned home to Molena. He attended
both North Georgia College and West Georgia College
before becoming a fireman for the railroad.
In early 1954, Charlie attended a community dance
in Woodbury, Georgia where he met the love of his
life, Helen Harris Smith. Following a whirlwind ro
mance, Charlie and Helen wed on November 14, 1954,
and recently celebrated 66 years of marriage. Charlie
and Helen raised two children, Andy and Angela, who
were his pride and joy.
Charlie’s friendly and outgoing personality, com
bined with his love of cars, helped him to become a
great salesman. Charlie began his career at Reames
Ford in Manchester. Later he became co-owner of
Beckham Brothers Lincoln Mercury with his brother
Richard. Charlie ended his sales career at Tom Stimus
Conversion Vans before taking on various small jobs
to avoid retiring. Charlie worked at Hudson Farms,
Butts Mill Farm, The Fields Golf Course and Molena
Sand Plant. Charlie loved working!
When not at work Charlie enjoyed raising Black
Angus cattle and tinkering on his farm. During the
early years of their marriage Charlie and Helen spent
weekends boating with the Woodbury Yacht Club on
Mathis Lake in Greenville.
Charlie and Helen were also longtime members of
the Griffin Moose Lodge.
Charlie was a 32nd Degree Mason and a Shriner.
Charlie lived an exceptional life. He was the life of
every party.
Everyone who met him loved him. He was a won
derful example to his children.
He worked hard and treated people fairly. Char
lie’s contagious laughs are legendary and will be
missed by all. Some of our favorite Charlie quotes
include: “Say what you mean and mean what you
say,” “Thank you Lord for a good safe trip,” “Nothing
good ever happens past midnight” and “My belly, my
back and my four doggone sides.”
Charles Beckham is survived by his wife Helen
Smith Beckham and his children Anderson Beck
ham (Jan) of Greensboro, North Carolina and An
gela Brown (Gordon) of North Myrtle Beach, South
Carolina, and five grandchildren Hayes Brown, Amy
Beckham, Ryan Brown, Brian Beckham and Davis
Brown. He was predeceased by his brother Richard
Beckham and his sister Jane Beckham Cochran.
Contributions in memory of Mr. Beckham may be
made to Jones Chapel, Woodbury Georgia or Bright-
moor Hospice, Griffin, Georgia.
Graveside services were held at Molena Cemetery
on Sunday, September 5, at 5:00 p.m. with Rev. Mark
Harris officiating.
Fletcher-Day Funeral Home was in charge of ar
rangements. Condolences and remembrances may be
