So saddened by the news of his passing. I have many fond memories of Rev. Davidson and his family. My heart and prayers are with you all today.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Earl! I have many fond memories of him and the family when he was pastor of our church.I know he and Dad are having a happy reunion in heaven!
Earl was my first Preacher when he was Pastor of the Big Creek Baptist Church. because on November 27, 1977 I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Brother Davidson influenced so many people. Praying for Bruce and the entire family.He was such a fine man, well respected in the community. I remember like it was yesterday, 15 young people gave their heart to the Lord on that Sunday morning, I was not one of the, but the Holy Spirit was dealing me. I thank God the Holy Spirit gave me another chance
I thank God for knowing Bro Earl and for the life of such a fine man. His family has grown up to honor what he preached and lived.
My prayers for the family as they give him up to his heavenly rewards.
I am Gail Burns Walters/Young I lived on the creek where most of the children were born and lived.
