William Beverly Lumpkin Jr.

Today we mourn the loss of Bill Lumpkin who was an artist of subtlety...patient and kind and always able to find the humorous angle in life's curveballs. To Bill, nothing mattered more than his God, his Family, and his country.

William "Bill" Beverly Lumpkin Jr. , age 77, passed away peacefully, in his sleep, of natural causes on Saturday, January 23, 2021. He was born in Macon, Georgia on October 13, 1943 to William "Skeet" B. Lumpkin Sr. and Marguerite "Dolly" Wollam Lumpkin. Mr. Lumpkin graduated from Lanier High School in Macon, received a Bachelor of Arts from Mercer University, was a member of the Kappa Alpha Greek Fraternity, and he earned an MBA from Georgia State University. He was a member of The National Guard, had a wonderful business career, and retired from Lumpkin Industries, a business he built from the ground up which is still being run by his son, Wil.

He loved spending time with his family, and will be joining his mother and father, and his sister, Suzanne McGlamory.
