Venson Bernard Maddox, Sr.

Papa, i remember the times you would always help us correct our mistakes and guide us in the right path and you were so optimistic and that's what made you so special and I loved it about you, but I really just want to let you know we miss you dearly, Love Ja'Mauri

Daddy, I miss you so much! I remember playing flag football and you were literally yelling and coaching me from the sidelines like I was on of your sons lol. Whew. I miss hearing you say, I ain't want nothing just calling.

Love always & forever, Dionne

Maddox Family, May God comfort you all and strengthen you in the days ahead. Bernard was such a nice person and had such fun spirit. Anytime you were in his presence, you were going to laugh. Please know that he was admired by many. Our family will continue to lift you all up in prayer. God is a light in darkness. Bless you all. Dwight, Victoria, DJ Harris & Teresa Crawford

My cousin who I love so much and will miss dearly. I am still in denial and really going to miss everything about you but most importantly, your presence here on earth. My fondest memory of you is when you met my husband, who was my boyfriend at the time, and you gave him the toughest time. Lol You made sure to let him know how much you loved me and to do right by me or else. Lol That just shows how much you were so protective of me and the love you had for me. One of the greatest cooks I know. The life of any party. Made each and every person feel welcomed. I am taking this hard but I know I will see you again. I love you and will cherish every memory of you. To my Maddox family, I love you all so much and praying for your strength daily. May God continue to comfort you during this hard time. Love, Angel Davis
