** OBITUARY **
Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me And may there be no mourning at the bar, When I put out to sea.
Alfred Tennyson
Phelix Edward Fletcher, the first born of the late Rev. Captain Phelix Fletcher and Rosa Alien Fletcher, was born on November 26,1911 in Echols County, Georgia, where he spent his early childhood.
He received his formal education in the Hernando County (Florida) Schools and Augusta, Georgia.
He was a Christian. His Christianity was evidenced in his daily walk. He was a member of the Tabernacle Baptist Church where he served on the Trustee Board until his illness.
He served in the U.S. Army during World War II. His occupation was a dental technician, employed by the federal government at Fort Gordon.
While in service he met and married the lovely Harriett Batey. To this union their only child, Edward, was born.
Along with his devoted wife, Harriet, and his loyal and caring son, Edward, he leaves to mourn his passing two brothers, Fred Fletcher and Roy Fletcher; five sisters, Rebecca Riggins, Beatrice Riggins, Rosa Beckett, Sarah Davis and Eddie Jackson; one aunt, Fannie Seward; one uncle, Paul G. Alien; seven sisters-in-law, Bernice Fletcher, Vivian Fletcher, Odell Mayle, George Lillian Jenkins, Ilene Buchanan, Mayme Durant and Bertha Mapp; five brothers-in-law, Mack Davis, III, Vary Beckett, Embra Jackson, Bland Batey, and Walter Buchanan; one godson, Phelix Dejaun Hailey; one goddaughter, Cordeilia Jordan; a special friend of Edward Fletcher, Robin Wooden; a host of caring nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
"If you would indeed behold the Spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life . . . For life and death are one, even as the river and sea are one . . . And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unemcumbered."
--Kahil Gibran
So it was on Thursday, May 10,1990 that Phelix suddenly ceased this life to rise and seek God unemcumbered.

The Crossing
They that love beyond the world can not be separated by it. Death can not kill what never dies.
Nor can spirits ever be divided, that love and live in the same divine principle, the root and record, of their friendship . . . Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still . . .
This is the comfort offriends, that though they may be said to die, yet theirfriendship and society are, in the best sense, ever present because immortal.
--William Penn
