I have known Mr. Tincy Gant for many years. I worked at the McQuay Corporation when Mr. Gant worked there. I have known to a straight honest man. He trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as his
Savior. He was a hard working man, intelligent, thoughtful, and a
kind individual. I will miss him as
well as his many friends and relatives. I consider myself lucky to have known Mr. Gant

My sisters and I are so saddened by Mr Tincy’s death. Our aunt, Della Rosamond married Tobe Moore and her stories of the Gant and Moore families and their brilliance, love for each other and curiosity of this world remain with us.
Mr Tincy shared his life in so many gentle ways with others. I feel so blessed to have been touched by this special man and his family. He made our world a kinder place.
My sincere condolences to his friend and family.

I’ve known Tincy for many, many years. My grandparents lived 1/4 mile down the Hwy from their store. I went back to Elliot today and saw that his beautiful home had burned and heard that he passed away. His whole family was so sweet. When I would visit I’d go with my aunt sometimes when she sat with his mother. Tincy was a sweetheart and will be missed so much. RIP Tincy
