My thoughts and prayers to the Macon family….I can’t help but remember
the way God spared his life as a child, and due to the blood drive at that time
I have to believe a little bit of a lot of people were and are with Cully, yes,
even now.
God comforts the mournful,
Mark Kaye and Family

I am so sorry for the passing of Cully. I have good memories of him at Reynolds, such a great guy with an incredible sense of humor. My prayers go out to his family in that they can find peace in their loss.
I have fond memories of Cully from our early childhood at Bell Elementary through Reynolds High School. The last time I believe I saw him was years ago after a Georgia Tech football game, but seeing this video brought tears to my eyes. I am so sorry for your loss. Hold onto your memories and know that you will one day see him again. May God lift up you all during this difficult time.

Thank you to the Macon family for letting me be a part of you. You have always provided for your children, grandchildren and extended family, with love and sincerity. Our pain in losing Cully is palpable. He was a unique man who knew how to laugh and make other ones smile with him. He was wise but soft hearted , strong and putty when it came to his children! They melted into him and felt love for him everyday . Cully, I am blessed to have known you, as my life is forever changed. You are safe in God’s arms and rest in our hearts. We will see you again one day, until that day, just know that your children are safe and loved.
Peace.

Sending Cully’s family and friends my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. I knew Cully from elementary school through high school and especially remember him when I played East Asheville softball for nine years. ~ Elizabeth (Betty/Beth) Smith, A.C. Reynolds Class of 1982
Cully was always a lot of fun in school, and yet he never let us class clowns deter his focus as a student. He always spoke of his parents with affection and respect. I’m sure he loved his children mightily.
I am so very sorry to hear of Cully’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Macon family. Remember Cully as one of those guys that could brighten a room up instantly.

I went to school with Cully from Charles c. Bell elementary all the way to a.c Reynolds high school. He was an awesome persons to know and an outstanding student. As a young man and adult I really never seen him around until our 30 year class reunion and there he was, the same old Cully we all knew and loved. If we had all night to catch up on years of time lost it wouldn’t have been enough. Now we have lost him forever and until we meet him again in heaven our question will be unanswered
Cull we love you and may you rest in peace. God speed.
My heart truly goes out to you and yours. Cully was such a vibrant and energetic part of our daily Social family. From his sports whiz to his silly jokes, he always put a smile on every one of our staff’s and customer’s faces and will sincerely be missed. And ,while we may not be there today, please know that you, your family, and Cully will forever be in our hearts and minds. May he rest in complete peace and know just how many people loved him, and will miss him, forever. We’ll pour a little out ‘for our hommie.’
Love,
Melly Mel and the Social Gang
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Macon family, along with our most heartfelt condolences. Cully was a special boy , and good friend of our sons.
Tom and Barbara and Thomas, words cannot describe my heart felt sadness for you all. God love each and every one of you and protect you during this time. If I could be there, I would be for sure. Stafford and I send to you our Love!!
We do not even know where to begin. So devastated to hear this. We are at our home in Daytona Beach and did not know until today. Words cannot express the pain. All I can do is remember the good times with Cully. He was like a son to me. I always wanted a son just like him but never had one. He was such an inspiration to me. My heart aches for you all. You are in our prayers.

I am preparing our daughter, Jesse Johanna to move back to her birthplace in Midway Utah and attend school at the University of Utah. Cully was with her when she applied for college there and was so proud of her. It will be bittersweet to hike with our children on the same slickrock that Cully and i did when we moved to Utah about 20 years ago. He will be with us,in our hearts and minds, we will continue to make you proud, Dad! Be with us…always.
