TOMMY NELSON ROLAND
PEARL
Mr. Tommy Nelson Roland, age 47, died Thursday, May 13, 2010. Visitation was held 5pm-9pm Friday, May 14, 2010 at Ott & Lee Funeral Home in Morton and resumed 8am-3pm Saturday at the funeral home. Funeral services were held 3pm Saturday, May 15, 2010 from the Ott & Lee Chapel in Morton with burial in Hodge Hill Cemetery. Rev. J.C. Stewart and Bro. Tommy Wayne Mohon officiated the services.
Mr. Roland was a lifelong resident of Rankin County. He loved to hunt and be in the serenity of nature. One of his favorite things to do was to reach into the muddy water of a lake blindly and hand-grab a fish. He never met a stranger no matter where he went. Tommy loved children and they loved him. This man had no trouble at all in conversing with a four year old. Children, you see, are the best judges of character. They might not be able to put names on words like, decency and honor, but they knew that he was a good man. He will greatly missed by all who loved and knew him.
Preceded in death by his grandparents, William J. Roland & Jennie Dee Roland and Jodie Stewart & Mozelle Stewart.
