Obituary For Mr. Ricky R. Copeland Sr.
There are times during life’s struggles when the load seems too heavy to carry. There are times we seek answers; and many times, we ask ourselves, why me or why us? Many times, we find ourselves worrying about our hardships, and our day-to-day problems. But we should remember however, that time for us here is short. We are all visitors in this strange & complete world. No, this world is not our home. We therefore take this opportunity to thank God for each day for letting us know & love “RICKY.”
The joyful spirit of Mr. Ricky R. Copeland Sr., of Valdosta Georgia was born on the 231st day of the year 1960 in the Gregorian calendar. It was Thursday, August 18, 1960, to his parents, the late Verlie H. Copeland and Clinton Barnes.
Ricky was a hard worker, a dedicated Father, Son Brother, and Freind. He completed school at Valdosta High school, he loved his friends and family unconditionally.
In God's care you rest above, in our hearts you rest with love. Memories of you are ours to keep, our words are few, but our love is deep.

The sorrow of the faithful is not that of permanent loss, But the tender sense of sadness that comes in saying good-bye for now to someone we love. May today's sorrow give way to the peace and Comfort of God's love. Author Unknown

Psalm 30:5.WEEPING may endure for a night but JOY comes in the morning. Ricky's joy came and our sadness began on December 14, 2023. I am deeply sadden by your loss. I have known Ricky for many years. He is my ex son-in-law and the Father of my Grandson, Ricky Jr. I remember during his health and illness. He was a strong and a good man. He was devoted to his children and stepchildren. They loved their Daddy. I would talk to him on multiple occasion and his conversation was always about his relationship with God and he was ready to meet his maker when the time came. I am so hurt because he never had anything but comforting words for me. I know how you all feel because I lost my brother in October.We are sad and hurt by your transition but you wouldn't come back if you could. All of the hurt and pains are over. To Monica, children and stepchildren and entire friends and family. Ricky Copeland,SR was a good man.Rest assured that he is in a better place and RIP. Sadden hearts, Elder Thomas and Jeanette Henderson.
