 The
Reverend Michael L. Welch
and Julie Brown Welch,
along with two of their three children,
Jesse Paige and
Hannah Maree, perished
suddenly in an accident on Highway 52 in Lafayette, Tenn., on
Thursday afternoon, February 7, 2008.
The entire family was a source of inspiration and strength to the
small community of Lafayette that was recently affected by the
tragic tornadoes that touched down on Tuesday evening, February 5.
Until the moment of their deaths, the entire Welch family was
serving those in greatest need by providing counseling, food and
supplies to storm victims and their families.
Reverend Michael Welch served
as Minister of Lafayette United Methodist Church since 2004.
Just days before his death, Michael helped organize a crisis center
for those displaced by the storm. Prior to pasturing the United
Methodist Church of Lafayette, Michael and Julie served the
communities of Shelbyville, Tenn., where Michael pastored First
Christian Church, and St. Louis, Mo., where he was employed by
Stephen Ministries. Michael also pastored the First Christian Church
of Rocky Mount, N.C.
Julie Brown Welch, a native of
Mobile, Ala., graduated from Murphy High School in 1979. She married
Alan Murphey and gave birth to her first son, Garrison Brown Murphey.
Julie and Garrison later lived in Jacksonville, Fla., and Atlanta,
Ga. Julie and Michael met while they were both studying at the
University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, and soon after married. Julie,
Michael and Garrison moved to Rocky Mount, N.C., where Julie earned
a degree in Theology and Studies of Religion at Barton College.
Jesse was born in Rocky Mount, and Hannah was born three years later
in St. Louis.
In each place that Julie lived, she reached out to the community in
ways that represented her purpose in this life – spreading beauty
and joy and love for God. Julie’s personal mission ranged from
ministering to children on the playground to helping women become
strong spiritually, mentally and physically through building a
relationship with Christ.
Michael and Julie were truly partners in their service to God and
community, and that was extended through their children, Jesse and
Hannah and their son Garrison.
Almost 15 years old, Jesse Welch
was an avid reader and inventor with a love of history and maps. He
most recently completed building a computer that he was about to
beta test for functionality. Wherever he went, Jesse often carried
his juggling balls, books, a writing pad and pencils. He loved to
invent cartoon characters and their stories, and to entertain others
with his magic tricks.
Eleven-year-old Hannah Welch
was truly a creative and free spirit whose talents reflected the
very light of her being, whether helping someone in need or rescuing
an animal looking for a home. Hannah painted, sang, baked, danced
and twirled. She was an imaginative story teller, recently writing
about a maiden who lived in a palace with her cat.
A native Tennessean, Michael was the only child of Cliff and Bettye
Ann Welch, both deceased. He is survived by the Tankersly family of
Chattanooga, Tenn., and Julie’s family.
Julie was the youngest child of Julius Hagood Brown (deceased) and
Ellie Clark Brown of South Ponte Vedra, Fla. She is also survived by
her son, Garrison Brown Murphey and his wife, Meghan, of St. Louis,
Mo.; two sisters, Suzanne Brown Graham of Jacksonville, Fla., and
Deborah Brown Reeve of Alexandria, Va. Julie and Michael are also
survived by their nieces and nephews and cousins to Jesse and
Hannah; Courtney Chea Reeve, Tyler M. Reeve, Bryan Graham, Nicholas
Graham and Sarah Elizabeth Brown. Their loss is also felt by many
other cousins, aunts, and uncles, as well as the many close friends,
families and communities that they served.
Visitation will be held at Lafayette United Methodist Church on
Monday evening, February 11, 2008, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm. A
Celebration of Life Service will be held at the Lafayette United
Methodist Church on Tuesday, February 12, 2008, at 10:00 a.m. In
lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the
Welch Family Disaster Relief Fund to support ongoing efforts to help
the community. Checks may be sent to Macon Bank & Trust, PO Box 10,
Lafayette, TN 37083 or to Citizens Bank, PO Box 100, Lafayette, TN
37083. |

We realize how important it is to
communicate with the public concerning the family's wishes during a very
difficult time.
It is our responsibility to the families we serve to promptly notify the
community by means of our 24-hour obituary line and accurately relay this
information so that friends and family will know when and where the family may
receive visitors and time and place of the funeral service.
The notice of the passing of a loved one is placed on this web site, in all the
local papers and radio stations, and any additional notices will be placed at
the request of the family upon completion of service arrangements.
We work for our families to ease the burden during their time of loss. |
