Victor Echols

Victor Maurice Echols, 79, departed this this life on Wednesday, July 20, 2016, as a born- again Christian and long- time member of First Baptist Church of Kennesaw. He has entered into eternal life and now has a perfect body and glorious health. At 1 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 4, 2016, a brief memorial service will be held at the Mossy Creek Golf Course, 7883 Ga. 254, Cleveland, GA 30528, 706-865-2277. His wife, the Rev. Marlene Kellermier Echols, will speak his eulogy at his service. He was dedicated to helping the Caring Hands Ministry and Appalachian Hope Center here in the mountain area. Any donations should be made to PO Box 2681, Cleveland, GA 30528. He was married to Marlene Kellermier Echols for 35 years. Although he had no children of his own, he was a dedicated stepfather of Ralph Dean and Kimberly Rae Kellermier. He is also survived by two grandchildren, Deana Lynn Kellermier, Emily Grace Rohrer; great-grandaughter, Sadie Kate Reagan; as well as one brother, James Echols of Duluth. Vic golfed almost every day of his life, and we believe that surely if there is a great golf course in heaven, he has already teed off. Please join us for a brief get-together at the clubhouse in his honor if you can. Cards may be sent to his widow at 248 Candlewick Rd., Cleveland, GA 30528. Online condolences can be made to the family at barrettfh.com Barrett Funeral Home, Cleveland.
