Ernest Manuel

Caldwell

Mr. Ernest Manuel Caldwell was born on March 31, 1946, to Clifford Caldwell and Audrey Vandergriff- Caldwell in Griffin Spalding County, Georgia. He obtained his General Education Degree from Job Corps. He loved music and could skillfully play any instrument he picked up. If there was a piano insight, he would sit down and play until he'd perfected a tune.

Growing up with the Griffin City Golf Course practically in his back yard, he mastered the game of golf. Playing in countless tournaments both locally and statewide, he was often mentioned amongst the best amateur golfers of his time. He spent countless hours perfecting his game and giving "lessons" to those that crossed his path, always with a smile and a bit of motivation.

Although his favorite past-time was golf, he was adamant about sharing his love for the golf course with his family. His children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren were all very familiar with the golf course and spent many afterschool evenings at the City Park with him. He was very proud of his family, and would often "show them off" to anyone he came in contact with.

On Wednesday, June 21, 2023, Mr. Ernest Manuel Caldwell left his earthly home to reap his just reward in the Heaven above. He is preceded in death by his parents, Clifford and Audrey Caldwell; siblings, Annie Marion Rainey, Clara Goodrum, Clifford Caldwell, and Clarence Caldwell.

Mr. Ernest Manuel Caldwell is survived by his wife Mrs. Eloise Caldwell; children, Angela (Sebastain) Calloway, Sebastain (Keshia) Caldwell, Montrice (Gerod) Wilson, and step-daughter, Mercedes (Gregory) Worthy; his siblings, George Caldwell, Jacquelyn Atkins, Kenneth Caldwell, and Larry (Shirley) Caldwell. He also leaves a host of grandchildren, greatchildren, nieces, nephews and other family and friends that will surely miss him. He is loved and respected by many and will be greatly missed.
