    Deacon Lawrence A Gayle

    May 31, 1937 - March 17, 2018

    Deacon Lawrence Gayle (80) laid down his cross and joined his heavenly Father on March 17, 2018 at Vidant Medical Center in Greenville, NC. He was the fourth child of eleven belonging to the late Ernest A. Gayle and Margaret Jones Gayle. Deacon Gayle was a dedicated member of Canaan Missionary Baptist Church where he loved serving the LORD. He truly loved the Lord, his pastor and church family. Not only did he exemplify the love of GOD at church, it was exemplified by the love he had for his family, friends and anyone he met. To know him was to know his smile and his gentle spirit. He never met a stranger and was always ready to help others in anyway he could. His favorite things to do outside of attending church were talking to family and friends and cooking. Deacon Gayle received his education from the public schools of Dallas County, Alabama, later joining the Armed Forces (Army) of the United States. After serving his country, he retired and worked for the New York Transit as a conductor with the subway trains. Left to cherish his love and fond memories are; two sisters, Patricia Ann Gayle Rodgers of Pleasant Grove, Alabama and Harriette Gayle Moppins of Selma, Alabama; three brothers, Samuel and Derrick Gayle both of Selma, Alabama and Herbert Gayle of Tuscaloosa, Alabama; God daughter, Faye Riddick of Ahoskie, NC; special friend, Viola Benthall of Winton, NC; two granddaughters; one great grandson; one great granddaughter; one great great granddaughter; best friends, James and Earl Riddick of Ahoskie, NC and a host of other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his wife; Beulah H. Gayle and one son; Jeff Holley Gayle.
