Dr. Obie Clayton, Jr.

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Dr. Obie Clayton, Jr. (Dad, Grandad, June, or Doc) who departed this world peacefully at home on June 11, 2026. Born in the warm embrace of Meridian, Mississippi, Obie enriched the lives of countless individuals through his dedication to education, his unyielding kindness, and his vibrant spirit.

The son of the late Obie and Annie Clayton, Obie was predeceased by his beloved parents, who undoubtedly welcomed him into their arms once more. He leaves behind a cherished family, including his devoted wife and dearest friend of 34 years, Jamie Clayton, with whom he shared a beautiful marriage since December 28, 2013. His legacy lives on through his children, Michael Clayton (Alicia), Kristen Clayton, Justin Ross (Meike), and Brandon Baird (Mikeala), as well as his siblings, Vivian Gray (Yvonne), Earl Clayton, and Greg Clayton and a large extended family. Obie was a proud grandfather to five precious grandchildren (Tamia, Clay, Madisyn, Veronica (Ronnie), and Beau, who were the light of his life.

Obie's academic journey began at T.J. Harris High School and continued with distinction at Millsaps College in Jackson, MS where he earned his B.A. in Religion/Sociology. His thirst for knowledge led him to Emory University, where he completed his M.A. and Ph.D. in Sociology. As a revered professor, Obie dedicated his career to enlightening minds at esteemed institutions including U. Mass Boston, the University of Nebraska in Omaha, Morehouse College, Atlanta University (now Clark Atlanta University), and the University of Georgia. He concluded his illustrious career as the Editor of the Journal Phylon at Clark Atlanta University, a publication first helmed by the legendary W.E.B. DuBois.

Obie was a man of deep faith, actively participating in church communities throughout his life. His spiritual journey took him from the 7th Street Church of Christ in Meridian, MS to Holy Cross in Decatur, GA, later to St. Martin in the Fields in Brookhaven, GA, and finally to Holy Nativity Episcopal Church on St. Simons Island, GA, where he remained a dedicated member.

Beyond academia, Obie was a man of diverse passions. He was an avid golfer, often found enjoying the serenity of different courses. A voracious reader, Obie delighted in sharing the joy of literature with those around him. His culinary skills were unmatched, particularly his renowned Bread Pudding and an array of chili recipes that warmed both hearts and stomachs.

Known for his quick wit and welcoming nature, Obie had a gift for making everyone feel valued. His kindness and generosity left a lasting mark on all who knew him, and his legacy of love and wisdom will endure in the hearts of many.

A service to honor and celebrate Obie's life will be held on June 27, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Holy Nativity Episcopal Church, located at 615 Mallery Street, St. Simons Island, GA 31522. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Golden Isles Hospice for their compassionate care and to the Holy Nativity Episcopal Church community, friends, and neighbors for their unwavering support.

As we remember Dr. Obie Clayton, Jr., we hold onto the words of his family, “An imprint in our hearts forever.” May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may his memory be a guiding light to all who were fortunate to know him. In lieu of flowers the family asks that memorial donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Kurt Douglas Joseph

Kurt Douglas Joseph, 62, of Brunswick, Georgia, passed away peacefully at his home in Brunswick with his loving family by his side on June 4, 2026. Born on March 27, 1964, in Jeannette, Pennsylvania, Kurt lived a life defined by faith, family, perseverance, and a genuine love for people.

Raised in the Pittsburgh area, Kurt developed a passion for fitness and athletics at an early age. He attended Bethany College on a football scholarship and later wrestled on scholarship at the University of Pittsburgh. His competitive spirit and dedication to physical fitness continued well beyond his college years, leading him into bodybuilding, where he competed throughout his late twenties and early thirties. Kurt placed in the Top 5 of the Mr. Pittsburgh NPC Bodybuilding Championship in both 1988 and 1990. His commitment to health and fitness became a lifelong passion, and he was always eager to encourage others to pursue healthier, stronger lives.

Throughout his career, Kurt excelled in sales and relationship-building. Whether working in telecommunications, automotive sales, digital marketing, or serving as an Operations Manager for Star Transportation Medical Transport, affiliated with Hospice of the Golden Isles, he had a unique ability to connect with people and make a lasting impression. He never met a stranger and was often the person others turned to for advice, encouragement, and perspective.

More than any professional accomplishment, Kurt was most proud of his family. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend whose greatest joy came from spending time with those he loved. He was known for his wisdom, unwavering faith, and ability to find hope in difficult circumstances. His favorite sayings, “You can let the bird land on your head, but don’t let it build a nest,” and “Remember, don’t do anything stupid,” brought both laughter and life lessons to those fortunate enough to know him.

A lifelong Pittsburgh Steelers fan, Kurt enjoyed football, fitness, meaningful conversations, and sharing his faith with others. He was an active member of St. Simons Community Church, where he faithfully served as a greeter for many years. Kurt’s warm smile, welcoming spirit, and genuine interest in people made him a familiar and beloved presence within the church community.

Above all, Kurt’s faith in Jesus Christ was the foundation of his life. Through every season, he sought to encourage others, point them toward God, and remind them that no challenge was too great to face with faith. His legacy of strength, wisdom, kindness, and perseverance will continue to live on through the countless lives he impacted.

Kurt is survived by his loving wife, Nichole Mastrogiovanni Joseph; his children, Preston Joseph, Sydney Smith, Cameron Joseph, RJ Zow, and James Smith; and his grandsons, Kody Smith, Bellamy Smith, and Huxley Smith.

He is also survived by six siblings: sisters Sharie Wallace of Medina, Ohio, and Kathy Kerber and her husband, Joseph Kerber, of Herminie, Pennsylvania; brothers John Joseph Jr. of Youngwood, Pennsylvania, Steve Joseph and his wife, Karen, of Sarver, Pennsylvania, Chris Joseph and his wife, Kimberly, of North Fayette, Pennsylvania, and Mitchell Joseph and his wife, Carrie, also of North Fayette, Pennsylvania.

Though Kurt’s earthly journey has ended, his family finds comfort in knowing that he is home with his Savior, whom he faithfully followed throughout his life.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”

2 Timothy 4:7

Hilda Adrianna Quintanar

Hilda Quintanar, beloved mother, grandmother, family matriarch, and friend, passed away peacefully on June 4, 2026, on St. Simons Island, Georgia, just days before her 82nd birthday. She was born on June 12, 1944, in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico.

In the early 1970s, Hilda immigrated to the United States in pursuit of greater opportunities for her family. She made her home in Aurora, Illinois, where she took on the extraordinary challenge of raising four boys as a single mother. Through unwavering determination, hard work, and countless sacrifices, she instilled in her sons the values of education, responsibility, and service to others. Her strength and perseverance became the foundation upon which her family was built. One of her proudest achievements was seeing all four of her sons graduate from college and go on to lead lives dedicated to serving their communities and helping others. Her unconditional love and steadfast example served as a guiding force throughout their lives.

Hilda worked at McAuley Manor in Aurora for over 30 years. Through her dedication, compassion, and tireless work ethic, she touched the lives of countless residents, coworkers, and friends before retiring after a long and meaningful career.

Above all else, Hilda cherished her family. She was a devoted mother whose greatest pride was watching her children grow and build families of their own. She credits her chancla for her success in keeping her four boys in line.

Hilda was known for her sharp wit and infectious sense of humor. She loved a good joke, and the more inappropriate it was, the more likely it was to make her laugh. She had a gift for finding humor in everyday life and never missed an opportunity to tease those she loved. Family gatherings were always brighter, louder, and far more entertaining when Hilda was in the room.

When she wasn't making people laugh, she could often be found dancing. Whether there was an audience or not, Hilda loved Mexican music and was known to turn her kitchen into a dance floor. Many family members have fond memories of seeing her sing along, sway to the music, and dance as if no one was watching—though she never seemed to mind if they were.

Hilda is survived by her sons, Norberto Quintanar and his wife, Gretchen Quintanar (Blake); Rogelio Quintanar and his wife, Tracy Quintanar (Schuster); Sergio Quintanar and his wife, Yvette Quintanar (Yllana); and Aldo Quintanar. She is also survived by her cherished grandchildren, Kathryn and Gwendolyn Quintanar, children of Norberto and Gretchen; and Sofia and Benjamin Quintanar, children of Rogelio and Tracy; along with extended family members and many dear friends whose lives were enriched by her kindness, generosity, and laughter.

Though her passing leaves an immeasurable void, her family takes comfort in the memories they shared and the enduring impact she had on everyone fortunate enough to know her. They find peace in imagining her reunited with loved ones, sharing stories, laughing at a joke she probably shouldn't be telling, and dancing to her favorite rancheras.

Hilda will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever celebrated.
