Surrounded by his family at home, Mr. Stevie Lee Meeks entered into his heavenly rest on Thursday, July 25, 2024.  The world lost a beautiful,  GOD fearing man and a loving husband and father who desired to love and protect his family. He was a beautiful example of our Heavenly Father's love for each of us.  He taught his girls to give to others and love others but most importantly, to love the LORD.  He loved his wife and girls fiercely, but he also loved his grandchildren, siblings, and extended family.  He was a great comfort to all his family and had the absolute best sense of humor!  He was a native and lifelong resident of Treutlen County.  He was one of five children born to the late Harvey Washington Meeks and Flossie Bussell Meeks.  He was a graduate of Soperton High School, Class of 1955.  He also attended Brewton Parker College, studying Business Management.  He worked tirelessly for his family for 30 years in Management for J.P. Stevens in Dublin.  He also worked for Pitts Pontiac-Buick and Thomas Auto after leaving J. P. Stevens.

He attended and served at First Baptist Church, Soperton, as a Deacon for many years and Sunday School Superintendent for a short time.  Mr. Meeks was a longtime member and Past Worshipful Master of Harmony Lodge No. 405 F. & A. M., Soperton, GA.
