Gerald D. Upchurch was a very humble man. He would do anything possible to help anyone in need. His heavenly tent was pitched on September 22, 2020 surrounded by his family. Gerald was born on September 10, 1952 to the late Robert and Etheleen Upchurch.

Besides his parents, he is preceded in death by seven siblings.

He loved to fish, play his guitar and he was a true GRILL MASTER. He loved everyone equally with all of his heart. Gerald worked for many years in the Roofing and Construction industries.

His memories will be cherished by five devoted children: Robert, Doyle, Josephine, William and John Micheal Upchurch; five siblings: Alice Wright, Linda Deaton, Libby Richards, Ena Mitchell, and Bill Widner; eight grandchildren, six great grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends who will miss him dearly.

A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, September 26, 2020 at 2PM @ Melody Lakes Baptist Church 254 Red Oak Drive Waverly Hall, GA 31831
