JOHN LEE “J. L.” POLK, JR.
John Lee “J. L.” Polk, Jr., age 74, of Baxley passed away Thursday, July 26, 2018. Mr. Polk was born March 14, 1944 in Chesterfield, South Carolina to the late John Lee Polk, Sr. and the late Rosella Nolan Polk. He was a veteran of the United States Navy and Army. Mr. Polk was a retired truck driver and was preceded in death by a brother, Lonnie Polk and grandsons, Kevin Polk and Gavin Rowland.
John passed away peacefully at his home after a brief battle with ALS, he was surrounded by his loving family. His trucker friends knew him as “Roger Rabbit” and there is no doubt about it, when he got his new body, he jumped in that big rig and put the pedal to the metal in route to Heaven’s highway. ALS did not take away his ability to love, laugh or to fight, it did not take away his ability to let his family know how much he cares for us. He was able to leave this world with a sense of humor and he knew he was headed to a heavenly home. When we hear the thunder, we will know it’s him crankin’ up the tunes, listening to some old school rock n roll, and more than likely he is sporting a pair of cut off jeans, nobody can rock out a pair of cut offs like JL!
ALS did not take Away the Best Daddy and Papa, the Lord simply called him home. Don’t worry, Jake the Snake, Honey will look after your beloved tools. You are forever in our hearts.

MICHAEL WATERS
Nobles Funeral Home and Crematory announces the services for Michael Waters, age 51, who passed away of a sudden illness Monday, July 16, 2018 while working in Northern Alabama. He was a native of Toombs County living the past several years in Appling County. He was a member of Boilermaker Local 26 out of Savannah; a longtime employee with P.C.I.
He has left behind wonderful memories of a loving husband, dad and friend. Grateful for each and every day we were blessed with his short but well life, all those new Michael received a special gift. His life was full of lessons learned in the value he showed for life each and every way. Although he had to travel for his job and spend some much time away, his presence was huge. Michael was the one who assured his young wife, Angel that when they were expecting their last child that she need not worry, everything would be fine and it was so much better than fine, it was great!
He was the husband that loved the “Honey-Do” list and took such pride in checking off each item he completed. Michael was the dad who when home did not seek that recliner, but wanted to be there at the golf tournaments, dance competition, and every event that his kids had going on in their busy lives. More important, was the time that he treasured with his family and taught them through his actions what caring was really about.
Michael was the one that showed up at your door just when that dishwasher needed to be installed and the man who while working away, called his neighbor to see how he was doing because he knew that husband was caring for a sick wife. He wanted you to know that even while away, you were on his mind. Michael was the first to let you know he was home if you needed him and the last stop he made before he left; never asking that you watch over his family while he would be away but leaving knowing that that you were honored to try stand in his vast shadow.
Michael was preceded in death by his father and grandparents. Survivors include his wife, Angel Waters; daughter, Madison Waters; sons Dustin Allen, Evan and Austin and his mother, Dorothy Beckum as well as many brothers and sisters.
Funeral services were held Saturday, July 21 at 2pm at Nobles Funeral Home Chapel with the Reverend Steve Hughes officiating. Interment was at Big Creek Cemetery. Visitation was held one hour prior to services at the funeral home. A reception was held for all family and friends at Piney Grove Freewill Baptist Church.
Active pallbearers will be Allen Turner, George Stewart, Brian Auchard, Garland Pebbles, Lee Smith and Trey Swerington. Honorary pallbearers will be the Boilermaker Local #26 of Savannah, PCI employees and Tommy Tyre.
