- Lee Roy Cason, Jr., 65, of Blackshear died Wednesday (October 18, 2017) at his residence following a brief illness. Mr. Cason was born in Waycross to the late Lee Roy Cason, Sr. and Mary Evelyn Vaughn and had lived most of his life in Waycross and Blackshear. He was a truck driver, but his passion was music. He started out playing the guitar, but became an exceptional bass player later in his life. Whether it be playing at his house or playing the guitar at Bible Heritage Church he found comfort in entertaining others with the sound of music.
Mr. Cason is survived by a daughter, Crystal Brophy of Hoover, AL; a brother, Chester Cason (Sharon) of Daytona Beach, FL; numerous aunts, uncles and other relatives.
A memorial service will be held Saturday (Nov. 11, 2017) at 11 am at Bible Heritage Church. The family will receive friends following the service.
Honorary pallbearers will be Haywood Baptist Church Men's Ministry with Carpenters and should meet at the church by 10:40 am for the service.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Miles-Odum Funeral Home, 130 Screven Avenue, Waycross, GA 31501.
Sympathy may be expressed online at www.milesodumfuneralhome.com.
Miles-Odum Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.

Dad, I'm sorry that we never got a chance to hang out other than the 2 times that I met you. I regret that we lost touch after only a few years of writing one another. I will miss you so much even though I never really knew you. I'm glad that you at least got to meet your granddaughter once, but it should have been a lot more than just once. I hate that I wasn't there for you when you needed someone to look after you. I will always live with that regret. I appreciate your neighbors Carla and TJ so much for doing what they could for you and Susan as well. I'm glad that you did have people to help you, I just wished that it could have been me. I felt like somewhat of an outcast at your memorial on Saturday. Surrounded by all of these people who knew you, adored you and loved you. I only wished that I too could have known you. We would have gotten along so well together. We both have such a great love for music and cats. My mother always told me that I am a lot like you. If only we got to know one another the way we should have. I cried when I looked through your family photo album and found pictures of me growing up and of my family and your granddaughter. That was comforting. I love you dad and I will miss you.
