Don Mincey

Don Mincey, age 65, of Calhoun died at 7:40 PM, Saturday, July 29th, in Piedmont Hospital of Atlanta. Don was born, September 12, 1957, in Gordon County, a son of the late Randolph Mincey and the former Miss Norma Lee Carter (Mincey); also, he was preceded in death by his daughter, Brittany Mincey.

Don was a member of the 1975 Graduating Class of Calhoun High School and a member of the Coosawattee Masonic Lodge #306 in the Pine Chapel Community. He was a member of the Heritage Baptist Church and a Past-President of the Calhoun Lions Club. He enjoyed  riding his Harley and traveling in his R.V. and loved to eat after finding that elusive hole-in-the-wall-restaurant… He was always right as friends and family would say.

Mincey (Chantal) of Maine and Brandi Homs (Josh) of Texas; brother Randy Mincey (Debbie) and sister, Judy Lee Mincey; 9 grandchildren, Andrew (Kallie) Mincey, Trinity Mincey, Dalayna Mincey, Dalyah Mincey, Stephanie Tuttle, Kylah Tuttle, Jacob Homs, Kendall Homs, and Carter Homs, and his beloved dog, “Lily” who had belonged to Brittany.

Funeral services will be conducted at 3:00 PM, Tuesday, August 1 at the Heritage Baptist Church with Reverend Shane Parrott and Dr. Steven Pearson officiating.
