Mr. Gerald Patrick "Pat" Culwell, age 80, of Carrollton, Georgia passed away Wednesday, March 31, 2021. Mr. Culwell graduated from the University of Alabama with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. In 1969 he moved to Carrollton, GA to start a job at Southwire where he worked for the next 12 years. Pat also had his own engineering firm, Culwell Engineering, and ultimately retired from Addison Smith Mechanical Contractor. He was a kind, caring, and loving husband, father, and grandfather who fiercely loved his family and who was a living embodiment of a man with a "servant's heart". He was an active member at Oak Grove Baptist Church where he served in a number of areas over the years including Sunday School Teacher, Chairman of the Deacons, and the Baptismal Committee. He served as Chairman of the Board for Carroll Save-A-Life, and also volunteered at Carrollton Manor Nursing Home where he taught Sunday School and helped lead the Quarterly Supper Club for nearly 30 years. Pat loved all sports, hunting, and fishing. He also loved to laugh and was often quick to lovingly tease or to make a witty comment. But perhaps the thing he loved most was watching anything his children, and then his grandchildren, were involved in. From baseball, soccer, and football, to all kinds of music or academic achievement, Pat loved supporting and encouraging his children. Survivors include his wife, Charlotte Culwell; daughter and son-in-law, Rachelle and Kevin Ross of Cairo, Georgia; son and daughter-in-law, Johnny and Kim Culwell of Carrollton; grandchildren, Annie Ross, Carter Culwell, Thomas Culwell; sister-in-law, Beverly Culwell. Besides his parents he was preceded in death by a daughter, Rebecca Culwell and a brother, Marlin Culwell. The family will receive friends at Oak Grove Baptist Church Friday from 1:30 p.m. until 2:30 p.m. Funeral service will be Friday, April 2, 2021 at 3 p.m. at Oak Grove Baptist Church with Rev. Jason Bowman and Rev. Mike Owenby officiating. Pallbearers will be Thomas Culwell, Carter Culwell, George Moncus, Ronald Gilbert, George Roberts, Robin Worley, Linn Noles and Roger McClusky.
