His super powers were shown through his consistently quiet strength and faithfulness to his family. He led a home that only knew love and kindness, and celebrated the everyday moments and joys of this life. Cecil had a true servant’s heart and was a member of Lee Park Church where he served as deacon and loved to help with Wednesday night meal preparation. He fought diligently through his health battles and above all he loved the Lord and his family. Cecil loved to hunt and was an avid outdoorsman. He retired from Duke Energy with forty-one years’ service. In his younger days he enjoyed working part time with two Nascar teams. Though Cecil had many experiences and accomplishments in his life, his greatest was his family.
