Mr. Willie Coleman Suggs, Jr. better known as Junior Suggs, age 83, 5279 Brooks Rd. (Payne Bottom Community) Ellaville, Macon County, Georgia passed Saturday, October 15, 2016 at the Medical Center Navicent Health, Macon, Georgia.  

The funeral service will be conducted at 11:00 A.M., Saturday, October 29, 2016 at Faith Memorial C.M.E. Church, Brooks Road, Ideal, Georgia, where Rev. Zechariah Terry is pastor.  Rev. David Thomas, pastor of Shady Grove Baptist Church, will officiate.  Interment will follow in the Davis Chapel A.M.E. Church Cemetery, GA Hwy 26 West, Oglethorpe, Georgia.


Willie Coleman Suggs, Jr. was born April 3, 1933 in Macon County, Georgia to the late Willie Coleman Suggs, Sr. and Luverne Fish Suggs.  He was educated in the public school system of Macon County.  At an early age, he joined the Hopewell C.M.E. Church (currently named Hopewell Independent Church) of Rupert, Macon County, Georgia.

On May 1, 1954, he was united in Holy Matrimony to the former Annie Jones and to this union they were blessed with one daughter, Annie, who they call “Jodie.”  

Junior Suggs, as he was affectionately called, was a hard working man. No job was too big for him to handle. For many years, he was employed with Southern Frozen Food, Inc., a self-employed farmer and Macon County School Bus Driver.  Junior did not give in to his sickness but his body gave out.  On Saturday morning, October 15, 2016, Junior joined that great caravan of loved ones and believers and we believe the Lord himself said,  “Well Done, My Good and Faithful Servant, come on home and rest.”

Survivors are his wife, Annie Neal  Jones Suggs, Ellaville, Georgia; daughter and son-in-law, Annie Leary (Eddie), Macon, Georgia; granddaughter, Anesha Leary, Macon, Georgia; three great grandchildren, Anilahj, Hajuan, and Jerimiah: sister, Louise Harris, Ideal, Georgia; brother-in-law, Thomas Frank Jones; Ellaville, Georgia; sister-in-law, Christine Jones, Ellaville, Georgia; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

So sorry to hear of your loss, I worked many years with him as a bus driver. We look forward to the time when "death will be no more." Revelation 21:4. You are in my prayers.
