Obituary: Rev. George Ray Gaddie, Campbellsville, KY Gaddie will be remembered as a stalwart of Kentucky Baptist life in this region and beyond Funeral services for the Rev. George Ray Gaddie of Campbellsville, KY a 1942 graduate of Campbellsville University and long time servant of CU, were held at Parrott and Ramsey Funeral Home Wednesday, April 15, 2009. He passed away on Sunday, April 12, 2009, at the age of 92. Gaddie will be remembered as a stalwart of Kentucky Baptist life in this region and beyond. Officiating at his service were his pastor, Dr. Skip Alexander, Campbellsville Baptist Church; his former pastor and Campbellsville University trustee, Dr. J. Chester Badgett; and CU President Dr. Michael Carter. Alexander said, "George Gaddie embodied not only the love of Christ, but the calling of ministry within his long tenure. He loved his Lord, and loved people with a long life of integrity. It has been my pleasure to call him friend and mentor these seven years as his pastor." "Rev. George Gaddie was the very essence of a Christian servant leader," Carter said. "He was a strong supporter of Campbellsville University who served as a member of the Board of Trustees and was active as one of the original members of the President's Club and Church Relations Council." In his comments, Badgett, pastor emeritus at Campbellsville Baptist Church, spoke of the close friendship that he enjoyed with Gaddie and of the work they did in the community while serving together in the pastoral ministry. Badgett recalled the strong commitment that Gaddie had to the pastorate and his faithful Christian service to numerous people. Carter said that Gaddie's pastoral ministry touched the lives of thousands of people in this region and beyond and he had maintained a strong and positive spirit even after encountering health issues in recent years. "Rev. Gaddie will be missed by all of us at Campbellsville University, and we extend our deepest sympathy to Mrs. Gaddie and all of his family," Carter said. "I have known Bro. George Gaddie for 28 years," said Dr. James E. Jones, pastor of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, Taylor County magistrate of district one, and CU Church Relations Council assistant. "He was one of the most energetic, caring, faithful and involved pastors I have ever known. He was a sincere individual that could be best described as "what you see is what you get."
