Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

Mr. Turner, you will be sadly missed my friend. I will always remember your infectious laughter and seeing you in your chef attire as you go to school leaving work. My last memory of you is you bringing me a slice of your lasagna that you prepared, and telling you that the only thing you did wrong was you didn't bring me a BIGGER slice!!! I'm blessed to have met such a warm and loving soul. You always spoke and laughed with everyone everyday! I miss you already! Rest in peace,my condolences to your family and close friends.

It was truly an honor and a blessing for God to have let us cross paths, we meet through learning and furthering our passions in life and instantly became close. He was a light and a joy to always see smiling and hear laughing. My deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all the hearts and souls he has touched. Praying for peace and strength in these times. A good man truly gone too soon but will never be forgotten. I will celebrate and cherish life as he did every day and uplifted me in every way!! He is dancing and running with his lovely mother and God. Rest in Power King. Love Always Cheryl C. ATL

I am sad to hear of the passing of Turner. He was such a nice guy. I got to know him as he walked around the job. He always had a smile on his face. He will be missed. My condolences to the family. Rest easy my friend.

Rest in peace friend. I did not believe it when I was told. Prayers for Turner's family. May you all be at peace with the pasting of your family member. Prayers from Jerry D, and Sandra Wood

It truly saddens me to hear that Turner has transitioned, but to leave his body means that he is in the presence of Lord. He was a good man and I had plenty of fun times with Turner at work. He was always given out donuts 😂 with a smile on his face. Rest easy my brother and you will truly be missed.

Praying for all.

So sorry to hear of Turner's passing. He will be missed, he loved to laugh!. Praying for his family🙏 Jerry Wood

Whereas, my heart is very heavy with grief, I am missing my friend so much already, and whereas Turner was one of the sweetest soles I have ever met, he will always be remembered for his loving kindness always to everyone he knew, and like the wonderful MAN he was, the last conversation spoken, I am left waiting and listening for the next words to be said. But who knew these words would be the last and mean so much, no one but, GOD and Turner. In my last words to Turner, "Be thankful for GOD hands, which are on you". I am thanking GOD for allowing his presence to be in my life. Turner a special person - loved, cherished, celebrated, and appreciated every day, every time and in every way. Whereas Turner has met our heavenly father, we know that GOD has welcomed him into his kingdom with open arms and a smile and laughter that can be heard around the World. To the Family stay strong and know that GOD has got Turner safely in his care but, he is not along. Turners' silence will always be GOLDEN. Resting in Peace with the LORD. Renetta Bailey, Richardson, TX

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
