Obituary 
Julius Ceasar Banks Jr., was bom on July 7, 1924 in 
Evans County Georgia to the late Mattie Akins and 
Julius Ceaser Banks, Sr. He married Sara Godbee in 
1944 who preceded him in death after 33 years of 
marriage. He was then blessed in marriage to Flossie 
Medlock in 1981 to whom he remained devoted to for 
the past 33 years. On Tuesday, January 14, 2014, he 
completed his earthly journey for a well deserved eternal 
rest with his heavenly father. 
Becoming a member of St. John Missionary Baptist 
Church at an early age, he eventually became the 
chairman of the deacon board, serving for over 50 years. 
He was educated at Evans County Training Sehool. After 
school, he was drafted into the U.S. Navy and served 
during WW II. After the war, he worked for the United 
States Civil Service until retirement. In his capacity as a 
deacon, he fulfilled his Godly duty to both the church 
and the community. He was well known in the 
community as a servant, caring for the elderly, ehildren, 
and many others when he saw the need. Deacon Banks 
was one of the founding members of the Gladiators 
Incorporated. He was also a life-time member of St. 
Joseph Masonic Lodge #76. 
His union with his devoted wife Flossie provided him 
with an abundance of life, creating a blended family with 
a host of nieces, nephews, and in-laws. He and his 
devoted wife whom he called Pumpkin loved to fish. 
He leaves many to mourn his passing and cherish the memories 
of a life well lived. Those left with the greatest pain in their 
hearts but the fondest memories are his surviving wife Flossie 
Banks and his daughter Catherine Banks Murphy. He also leaves 
to cherish his memory a stepson Robert Collins (Patricia); a step 
daughter Gail Struchies (Jimmy); grandchildren and great- 
grandchildren. In addition, the community will mourn the loss of 
a eommunity pillar and servant of God. 
Memories 
The time will come when 1 must say goodbye to those 1 love, 
when my body will be too sick and worn out to keep me here, 
when my season in this world will be over. 1 thank You for 
the many years You have given me and ask that You be with 
me and my family when my time does come. Comfort those I 
will leave behind, reminding them that 1 have had a full, and 
productive life. And that my tirne is in Your hands. 
Farewell Our Precious Grandfather 
 
Farewell our precious grandfather 
Your race on Earth is done 
You now live in heaven 
With God and His gracious son 
Although our heart mourns for you 
And our eyes are filled with tears 
We are thankful that we had you 
To love and guide us through the years 
You were always an inspiration 
Your strength, it knows no bounds 
We know that God has blessed you 
With many heavenly crowns 
So farewell our precious grandfather 
You will always be in our heart 
We will remember your gentle teachings 
From which weTl never part 
-Your Grandchildren & Great-Grandchildren
