Myron Henry Abernathy, born on January 13, 1950, to Henry D. and Marvene Geneva Burell Abernathy, passed from this life on October 5, 2021. Myron possessed a gentle spirit along with a big personality. Some might have accused him of being headstrong, and he probably would have agreed with them. He had a way, however, of relating to children that brought out how tender hearted he could be and let them know they were his favorite kind of people. His own children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren benefited with having him in their lives to entertain, comfort, and love. Myron had many talents. He was a great storyteller and enjoyed having an audience. He was also very musical and could play multiple instruments, his favorite being the guitar. Myron was creative and a craftsman when it came to woodworking. He had the ability to make something from nothing. He was just great with his hands. Myron is survived by his children, Ryan H. Shuman (Diane) and Nathan E. Shuman (Johanna) both of Jefferson, Georgia; his siblings, Martha Ann Gasper of Buford, Georgia, Glen Abernathy of Hoschton, Georgia, and Loretta Thornton of Lawrenceville, Georgia; his eight grandchildren and his eight great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his parents. No public services are planned. Moffitt Family Funeral Care is honored to serve Mr. Abernathy's family.
