Stacy Marks Black, age 55, of Demorest, Georgia went home to be with the Lord on Monday, April 6, 2020, following a motorcycle accident.
Mr. Black was born on September 18, 1964, in Gastonia, North Carolina. He was preceded in death by his step-mother, Elaine Worthy Black, brothers, Kenneth Todd Black and Marty Ray Black. Mr. Black was a member of The House of Prayer in Mt. Airy where he served as the Director of Maintenance. Mr. Black was the Operations Manager for Northeast Georgia Machinery with his father. Stacy lived every day of his life as an adventure. He was loving, honest, generous, and loyal. His larger than life personality was infectious. Stacy was a man of many friends and if you were his friend he would do anything he could for you.
Stacy had a zest for adventure. His travels took him many places, sometimes by motorcycle, airplane, boat, or his pretty white pickup truck. Stacy was a “True Patriot” always willing to come to the aid of the helpless and needy. Above all, he valued faith and family.
Survivors include his father, Clarence Kenneth Black, of Demorest; mother, Wanda Lee Biggerstaff, of Gaston County, NC; fiancée, Kathy Nicholson, of Clarkesville; twin sister, Tracy Lynn Black, of Mt. Holly, NC; and life long friend, Bruce Harkness, of Demorest.
