Our heartfelt condolences for the loss of such a good man. May his family find some comfort in the love and support given during this difficult time. Love and prayers for you all from the Parkers.
My uncle was the kind of person who brought warmth into every room he walked in, he was the perfect blond of strength, love & kindness. He always had a way of making me feel seen & loved, no matter how much time had passed since I've last saw him. I will forever cherish every checkup call & moments spent. Love you uncle
Uncle Ezra will be highly missed. He was always a kind and loving person. Best memories I will have of him is those deep conversations, I always admire his intelligence and his empathy for people.
Ezra was a kind, humble gentleman, always smiling, always cheerful. I thoroughly enjoyed and looked forward to our conversations after Sunday Mass at Most Holy Trinity. He taught me so much. My heart and prayers are with you.
He will be truly missed and always loved by the Drayton's

My neighborhood just lost a great neighbor and friend. He was my neighbor across the street and I could always talk and convey with him. He retired from the Army as Assistant Army Signal Band Leader. Worked over 20 years with the Richmond County Sheriff Deputy. Always available for assistance to his neighbors. His wife the sweetest Lady Hermana was always involved with her neighbors and never once asking how I and my wife were doing whenever we saw each other. Mr Hampton and I would always converse whenever we saw each other. Sometimes I think God takes the wrong people. I. E. Meaning there are people that connects people rather than disrupting.
I will miss him. He has been a great friend. There are few that I have traversed in my 71 years of life I can say I hold to that degree.
