Oscar Cummings III

A page has been turned, the chapter of my life is now completed, remember the battle I fought to remain on earth with each of you. A victory has been won, a life’s book closed, and it was all part of God plans for me. Family and friends, please accept the will of God, because a loving and awesome God knows what best for each of us. I want each of my family members and friends to begin your journey of healing by remembering the joy that we shared through pictures, mementos, and favorite stories both funny and sad. Let your minds wonder the path of remembrance, reliving the joy and good times we have had. Mr. Oscar Cummings III was affectionally known as “Poppy” to those who knew and loved him. Poppy was born on February 1, 1977, and given his heavenly wings on Wednesday, June 19, 2024. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he was the son of Oscar and Linda Cummings. Poppy moved to Brunswick, Georgia, as a young child and spent his life in Arco surrounded by family and lifelong friends.
