Holmes Elton "Buzzy" Cummings

Mr. Buzzy Cummings will have a private family graveside held on April 6, 2020 at Rosehill Cemetery.

Holmes Elton “Buzzy” Cummings, 81, of Bogue Chitto went to be with his Lord on

April 1, 2020 in Grand Prairie, TX. He was born on July 28, 1938 to the late

Raiford Homer Cummings and Aletha Sadler Cummings.

He enjoyed sports, as a student at Brookhaven High School, Mr. Cummings played basketball.

His greatest thrill was to spread the love of Jesus, to teach others of God’s love and mercy

through Bible Studies. He will be missed by all that loved him, but his legacy will live on.

Preceding him in death were his parents; wife, Marietta Boone Cummings; infant daughter,

Tina Cummings; and sister, Ollie Boone.

Those left to cherish his memory are his son, Jonathan David Cummings and wife, Debra;

daughter, Mary Karen Hollis and husband, Rev. Jack Hollis Jr; brothers, Nelson Cummings

and Gene Cummings wife Vivian; and three grandchildren, Christopher David Cummings,

Wesley David Cummings, and Jack Alexander Hollis III. He is also survived by his

mother-in-law, Earlene Boone; in-laws: Donald Boone, John and Ginger Jenkins, Billy

and LaNelle Huffty, and Ronnie and Jeralyn Scroggins.

Memorials may be made to Germantown Christian Center, 7040 Stout Road Germantown, TN 38138

or Connect Church, 401 Southwest Plaza, Suite 103, Arlington, TX 76016

    To David and Karen-my thoughts and prayers are with you. Your father had a tremendous Godly influence on the life of my family that cannot begin to be put into words. I hope it will bring you peace and comfort to know that his touch and guidance impacted my parents and is now reaching a fourth generation. That is just the beginning. There is a huge ripple effect just in touching those two people that only God knows.
    Your dad was such a man of integrity and never backed down from speaking the truth-but ever so with love and kindness.
    He will always and forever have a very dear place in my heart and the same is true for my entire family.
    We send our love and prayers with grateful hearts at having been blessed my one of God’s greatest servants!

    Praying for the family to have God's loving arms of comfort around them at this time. You should also be comforted by the knowledge "Buzzie" can say like Paul, "It is better to be with the Lord." May God Bless and Comfort you as you journey through this time.

    Mr Buzzy was my Sunday School teacher at Bogue Chitto Baptist; I teach a class now and I base a lot of my teaching on things I learned from Mr Buzzy.
    Mr Buzzy is with Jesus now and his beloved wife Ms Marietta!!
    I will never forget him. God bless this family.

    I am so proud of my brother Buzzy. He will always be remembered as the kind of christian that not only talked the talk, but walked the walk. Many of the people whom he witnessed to will join him one day in Heaven. I am looking forward to seeing him one day when it comes my time to join him and Jesus in Heaven.
