On Friday, June 12, 2020 the heavens opened and a glowing light appeared as the Heavenly Father’s arms reached down and gently took Gerald Lee McRae by the hand. As Gerald drew his last breathe on this earth, his Heavenly Father escorted him through Heavens’ Gates and he was joined once again with his late parents, Marvin and Alice McRae.
Gerald was born December, 23, 1960 in Seattle, Washington, but had resided most of his life in Waycross, Georgia. He was a 1978 graduate of Brunswick High School and later attended Savannah State College. He was retired from Georgia Pacific and then later retired in security with Ware County Board of Education. He was a member of the New Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Waycross. Gerald was a loving father, grandfather, brother and friend to many. He will be truly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Left to Cherish his memories are his two daughters whom he loved to the moon and back, Chelsea McRae and Meagan McRae (her fiancé), Anthony Smith; a sister, Saida Holyfield (Kevin); two brothers, Percy McRae and Shahad Ali; one living aunt, Ilya Suraye Corbin. Also surviving are a multitude of friends.
A Celebration of Life will be held to honor Gerald’s life between the hours of 4:00 - 6:00 PM Saturday, June 27, 2020 at Edo Miller and Sons Funeral Home in Brunswick, Georgia. The Family cordially invites you to join them in celebrating a life well lived. We are requesting that all in attendance please observe the State's social distancing regulations.
