Ramey Gill

John Ramey Gill, 44, of Bruce departed from this life on Friday, May 22, 2020, at his residence. Born August 24, 1975, in Oxford; Ramey was a son to the late James Aron Gill and Betty Joan Goodson Gill.

Ramey, a kind hearted man, faced adversity early in life, but never let a situation get him down. He was mechanic by trade and spent countless hours turning a wrench. A man with a strong work ethic, Ramey was never one to sit idle. However, when leisure did come calling, Ramey could be found sitting atop horse surrounded by friends. Ramey didn’t simply pass away, he held in his soul the cure to death, a relationship with Jesus where he actively worshiped at Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church.

Ramey leaves behind a loving family to carry his warm memory in their hearts; precious wife, Angela Gill; two daughters: Ashely (Joshua) Warren and Haley Hubbard; one son, Eric (Laykn) Parker; two sisters: Cathy Timko, and Carla Turner; two grandchildren: Elizabeth Ledbetter and Swazye Warren.

He was preceded in death by his parents: James Aron Gill and Betty Joan Goodson Gill; one sister, Paula Wilbanks.

The family will receive friends on Sunday, May 24, 2020, from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM at Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church. In addition to the visitation, a funeral service remembering Ramey’s life will be held on Monday, May 25, 2020, beginning at 2:00 PM in the sanctuary of Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church. The service will be officiated by Bro. Will Turner and Charlie Spradling.  Greg May, Chris McGregor, Buddy Nelson, Eric Parker, Charlie Spradling, Joshua Warren, Dennis Weaver, and Will Weldon will carry Ramey to his final resting place in Mt. Moriah Cemetery.

Parker Memorial Funeral Home of Bruce and Vardaman is honored to serve the family in helping make arrangements remembering Ramey’s life. Online condolences may be composed at parkermemorialfuneralhomes.com.

The staff and Parker Memorial Funeral Home prioritize the health and well-being of our associates, family and guests.  We understand this is a fluid and serious situation that we are in today and that we are monitoring and evaluating developments of the coronavirus (COVID-19).

We and the state still believe that gathering and supporting one another at a time of loss is very important.  At this time, we are asking everyone to support a limited gathering and visitation policy.   This is a guideline of the CDC and the state board of health. We will be allowing small family groups and limited persons at visitation, funerals and gravesides until this crisis is over.

We do ask that those at risk or those not feeling well stay at home, but reach out to the family via the memorial webpage on www.parkermemorialfuneralhomes.com.  Also we are listing family addresses where you may reach out to them and send them a card or a note of encouragement in their time of loss.  Flowers and expressions of sympathy are still being accepted.

We also ask those who are attending visitation and funeral services to follow the CDC recommendations to take the usual steps to help prevent the spread of illness. Social distancing is very important in the control of the spread of this virus.

Thank you for your patience and understanding in this time we are in with the (COVID-19).  When this crisis is over we will resume our normal procedures and operation.

Prayers are with all of you, we trust that God will protect and strengthen us as we get through this crisis together.  “Faith does not mean trusting God to stop the storm, but trusting Him to strengthen us as we walk through the storm”.
