Henry Ulysses Pitts, III

On December 26, 1970, Jehovah created his Masterpiece, named him Henry Ulysses Pitts III, and gifted him to the late Henry Ulysses Pitts Jr. and Mary Lois Pitts. Henry the youngest of three was a quiet and compassionate person. At an early age and under the direction of his father, Henry followed the teachings of Jehovah. He was preceded in death by his son Quinton Prather, nephew Derrick Pitts, paternal grandparents, Henry Ulysses Pitts Sr and Fannie Mae Singleton, and his maternal grandparents Willie Frank Epps and Lizzie Lee Epps. Henry was born in Fulton County, GA. He was educated in the Dekalb and Fulton County School Systems attending Towers, Southwest Dekalb, and graduating from South Side High School in 1989. Henry furthered his education and received a Certificate of Completion of Apprenticeship in Heating and Air. His first job was working with his grandfather as a brick mason. Henry realized immediately he was not cut out for hard labor and quit after one day. He decided to make his mark in the workforce his way. Over the years he held different jobs at Steak Specialist, Hazelwood Farms, Americold, Marta, and Dawn’s Food which was his last place of employment. All which afforded him to live the lifestyle he wanted to. In 1993 Henry met Consuelo, this is when the love story began. The two dated for a few years and eventually became one on July 15,1995. In this marriage, there was love…love of God…love of each other…love of family…and love of friends. Together they learned the sweet things they did for one another outlast the impact of any annoyances. Add respect and open communication to this and you find the marriage Henry and Consuelo shared for 27 years. He had an easy-going spirit, which allowed him to connect with people. He didn’t talk a lot, but when he spoke, he spoke with wisdom, honesty, and encouragement. A loving husband, devoted father, caring son, and the best papa in the world. Enjoying his leisure time fishing on the lake, riding his motorcycle, vacationing with family and friends and spending time with the G-babies. Most of all Henry enjoyed sitting in the bedroom in his favorite chair, with a My Father Toro Cigar in hand, along with a red bull energy drink, gazing at the love of his life as she sat across from him. Henry has always been a believer but in recent years he rededicated his life to Christ. At which time he joined and was baptized at Lily of The Valley Baptist Church. While continuing in his walk with God Henry served on the Chief Executive Board. He was the Church Mediator, Deacon, Usher, and served in whatever capacity needed. On Tuesday, October 4, 2022, Mr. Henry Ulysses Pitts III fulfilled his destiny and the writing of his scriptures and went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It was then he heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Servant of God well done, rest easy may good and faithful servant; the battle is fought, the victory is won, enter into thy masters joy.” His memory will live on in the hearts of his devoted wife of 27 years, Consuelo D.
