Scott Brian Pouncey, age 36, a resident of Grand Bay, Alabama, went home to be with the Lord Friday, October 20, 2023, at a local hospital. He was born in Mobile on May 4, 1987, to Aubie E. and Lesia (Baxter) Pouncey, III. Scott grew up in the Union Church community of Grand Bay and was a member of Union Baptist Church. He loved to ride his 4-wheeler all over the community. He attended Cottage Hill Christian Academy for a few years but graduated from Forest Hill Home School Program in 2005 as Salutatorian of his graduating class. Scott enjoyed playing violin with his friend, Elizabeth Ash, and teacher, Sharissa Manwaring. At the age of 17, he was First Chair for violin with the Bay Area Strings in Mobile.

Scott is preceded in death by his grandmothers, Ann Crigler Pouncey and Thelma Baxter. He is survived by his parents, Aubie and Lesia Pouncey; brothers: Aubie E. Pouncey, IV (Karen) and Wesley Williams (Candi); sister, Katie Pouncey Noel (Jordan); his constant companion and fur baby, Ellie; as well as nieces, nephews, other relatives, and dear friends.
A very special recognition to Bill and Debbie Kendrick for sharing their lives with Scott and his parents for over the past 19 years, as well as Gordon and Trula McClinton, Sonja Hunter, his brother Wes, and friends, Nancy Ash and Sandy Miller and Scott’s aunt, Lynne Ishee, for all the love and support given to us and Scott before and after the accident. “Your love and dedication to our son and family has not gone unnoticed and has tremendously blessed us more than words could ever describe!” God bless each and every one of you for all that you have done for us and Scott!

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Theresa Castille, Lisa Ray-Luna, and Doug Pouncey for their loving care of Scott.

Graveside services will be held Friday, October 27, 2023, at 3:00 PM from Union Baptist Church Cemetery in Grand Bay, Alabama. The family requests everyone wear casual attire for the service to honor Scott’s life.

Happy birthday to my sister, Melissa.  How old?  Yes.  I hope she will have a great day!

Eric Harrington is having outpatient surgery this morning.  The doctor is removing a benign tumor.  If all goes as planned, he will go home an hour or so after the surgery is completed.  Pray and Eric & Leslee.

Maria Wainwright will find out today what time her surgery will take place tomorrow.  Continue to pray for Maria.

The celebration of life service for Scott Pouncey will take place tomorrow afternoon.  I plan on posting his obit later today.

Please continue to pray for Kristie Potts.  Eddie, Deidra and I had a nice visit with her and John on Tuesday afternoon.  Kristie is so strong in her faith.  Will you join me in praying for a miracle for Kristie?  Thank you.

I have not heard any update on Dede’s surgery but I do ask that you continue to pray for her.

Can I ask a personal favor?  Please continue to pray for Deidra, Lizzi, Sydney & Audrey.  The sting of death is real!

We will observe the ordinance of baptism as a part of our morning worship this Sunday, 10/29.  Those desiring to be baptized should come prepared to be baptized at the very beginning of our worship service.  We start on time so any family members attending for the baptism need to be in place early.

Our annual “Hallelujah Festival” will take place Sunday afternoon.  I think the time is from 4:00 until 6:00PM.  Looking forward to a night of faith, fun and fellowship.

I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus.
