Born in Taylors, South Carolina, he was the youngest son to the late R.B. and Annie Taylor Culbertson.

Grady met Doris while in school, became high school sweethearts and married after graduation. They celebrated 63 loving years together. He was the most wonderful son, brother, husband, father, papa, and grand-papa. He loved spending time with his family and creating memories like driving in the snow and singing in his barber shop quartet.

He served as a deacon as well as Sunday School teacher and Bible Study leader while a member of Laurel Baptist Church, Eastlan Baptist Church, Five Forks Baptist Church. He was teaching Bible Study up until last week. He only worked so he could serve Jesus and provide for his family.

His memory will forever be cherished in the hearts of his loving children, Larry Brandt Culbertson and wife, Brenda Livingston Culbertson, and Barbara Lou Culbertson; five amazing grandchildren, Brandt Wesley Culbertson and wife, Gypsy, Adrian Leigh Culbertson Summers and husband, Eric, and Annie Elizabeth Segrest and husband Andrew Meeker; five great grandchildren, Walt Patterson, Caelyn Leigh Summers, Abigale Grace Summers, Ryland James Summers, and Julian River Meeker Segrest.

Barron was a caring and devoted Christian to all who knew him and with a zeal for Bible Study and knowing more of God. He loved and looked forward to Sunday School every week and bestowed much wisdom to those around him.

I worked at Harper Brother when he was there. Sorry to learn of his passing.

Cousin Barron was the ultimate gentleman and such a sweetheart. I loved to listen to his stories about his growing up in the Ekom section of Laurens County with my Mom who was his first cousin and favorite playmate. Once, he told us about the cracks in the cabin walls they lived in and that falling snow would come inside! He accomplished quite a lot and came a long way from those days. I will surely miss his visits.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Barron’s family. I went to Eastlan Baptist with Barron and Doris and with his brother Edsel at Laurens First Baptist. They were a wonderful family. He was a devoted Christian gentleman.

Barron was a very special person and our family loved and appreciated his faithfulness to his Lord and Savior, his family and to FSI.
