Patrick Henry Lockwood

God saw the road was getting rough,

The hills were hard to climb,

He gently closed those loving eyes,

And whispered Peace be thine.

Patrick Henry Lockwood was born on December 10, 1971 in Quincy, Florida to Charlie Lockwood and the late Lizzie Pearl Leath. 

PAT was a compassionate, generous and a loving person, who would literally give the shirt off his back for the benefit of others.  He was such a dutiful and diligent employee, whom worked at Food Depot where he suffered his debilitating illness, where he was the store manager.  He made friends easily that lasted throughout his lifetime.  A void has been left in the family and within our hearts.  He was a special part of the family and will be missed very much.

OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, in his infinite wisdom, was looking through His rose garden searching for a special blossomed rose. God did not have to look far and long, for on the sabbath day, January 9, 2023, Patrick Henry Lockwood (affectionately known as Pat by his family and close friends) left his earthly home for a better home that is not built with hands, but whose maker and builder is God. God found that special rose, that was ready to go home.

He was predeceased by his loving mother; grandparents: Marshall and Ollie Shipp and Roddie and Maggie Lockwood; numerous uncles, aunts and a special cousin: Benjamin Jerome Brascomb.

PAT’s memories will be forever cherished by his daughter: Zyon Turner; son: Marcus Lockwood, both of Tallahassee, Florida; two brothers: Cleve Leath, of Dothan, Alabama and Nicko Parker, of Panama City, Florida; father: Charlie Lockwood, of Quincy, Florida; devoted aunt, Rosie Lee Weatherspoon, of Tallahassee, Florida, who partially reared him; a supportive uncle: Early Shipp, of Hilton, New York; other uncles and aunts, Rainey and Hattie Lockwood, Annie and Oscar Brown, and Inez Lockwood, all of Quincy, Florida; a special cousin, Tracey Weatherspoon, of Tallahassee, Florida, whom he entrusted with the rearing of his daughter after the deterioration of his health; nephew: Isaiah Leath, of Murfreesboro, Tennessee; and a host of other relatives and friends.

Please don’t say I gave up; just say I gave in

Don’t say I lost the battle, for it was God’s war to win;

Please don’t say how good I was, but that I did my best

Just say I tried to do what’s right; to give the most I could, not less;

Please don’t give me wings and halos, that’s for God to do;

Don’t worry about me; I’m well with God, I’ve made it home!
