Sargent Eldrid Iceson, son of Mary Alford and the late Joseph Iceson of Newnan, Georgia was born June 19, 1942. He departed this life Monday morning, November 21, 2011. As a child, he attended North Side Elementary School, Central High School and he attended St. John Baptist Church at a young age. Sarge as he was called, was the only man we ever knew by the name Sargent that never enlisted in the Service. Sarge moved to Atlanta, Georgia as a young man. He traveled many places and lived there, but he made his home in Brooklyn, NY for many years. Sarge became a professional barber, who cut many Entertainers hair and an artist who loved to draw people faces. His house was a gallery of portraits, many of whom you knew and you might find your picture too. Sarge had many talents, such as landscaping and design, where he used his talents to shape trees and shrubs. You always knew that Sarge had been there. He was a fun kind of guy. Jesus came into his life as his personal saviour. He found the peace of God and joined Fellowship Christian Centre where he worshipped until he could no longer attend. But his heart was there. He had one brother to precede him in death, Joe Lewis.
