Nathan Orr, Jr

Mr. Nathan Orr, Jr. was born on April 13, 1944, in Valdosta, GA, to the late Mr. Nathan C. Orr, Sr and Mrs. Cornell Orr.

He graduated from Westside High School in 1963. Shortly after graduation, he married his high school sweetheart in 1964. Nathan and Anita joined hands in marriage and remained for over 53 years and was blessed with seven children. He taught his children a lot about working hard for what you have in life.

As a young man, his passion was working in construction, which he started at the age of eighteen. He was a amazing builder that took something plain and ordinary and created an enjoyment of homes.

In due time he received the best gift in life and that was the gift of salvation. After living a full life, on Saturday, December 2, 2017, at Douglasville Wellstar Hospital in Douglasville, GA, Nathan completed his life and left this earth with the peace he made with God.
