DUNCAN, ARIZONA…Mr. Lane Ringer, a resident of Duncan, Arizona (formerly of Abbeville, Alabama), died Saturday, February 21, 2026, in Arizona. He was 60.
Funeral services will be held at 10:00 A.M. Tuesday, March 3, 2026, in the Fuqua Bankston Funeral Home Chapel with Brother Autry Barnell officiating. Graveside services will follow at 3:30 P.M. (E.T.) Tuesday in Hillview Annex Cemetery in LaGrange, Georgia. Fuqua Bankston Funeral Home of Ozark is in charge of arrangements. The family will receive friends from 9:00 until 10:00 A.M. Tuesday at the funeral home in Ozark.
Born on February 22, 1965, in Mobile and raised in Abbeville, Mr. Ringer lived a life marked by determination, resilience, and a deep love for the Lord. He started driving trucks at 21, chasing long highways and long hours with a sense of purpose. In his thirties, he built Ringer Transportation from the ground up—a business that reflected his character: steady, dependable, and honest.
But the road God laid out for him didn’t end with trucking. In 2022, he answered a higher calling and stepped into the ministry. Becoming a preacher wasn’t just a title for him—it was a transformation. He preached with conviction because he had lived through storms and seen firsthand how God can lift a person out of the darkest places. His faith wasn’t something he talked about lightly; it was something he carried, breathed, and shared.
He was a man who could fix anything—cars, appliances, broken parts, and sometimes even broken spirits. He had a gift for stepping into a situation, rolling up his sleeves, and making things better. His grandchildren were his pride and joy, and he loved them with a tenderness that softened even his toughest days.
While living in Arizona, he became known for something that made people laugh and admire him—he grew a yard full of green grass in the middle of the desert. Where others saw dry land, he saw possibility. That was who he was: someone who brought life where others thought it couldn’t grow.
He was preceded in death by his father, Jerome Ringer, and his sisters, Lena Natalie, Lisa Annette, Paula Janine, and Judith Marie. We rest on the promise that he is now surrounded by them again, held in the arms of his Savior, where there is no more pain, no more labor—only peace.
Surviving relatives include his wife, Michelle C. Ringer, Duncan, Arizona; daughters, Victoria Forguson, Kingston, Oklahoma and Kala Warren (Kevin), Dothan, Alabama; son, Jack Ringer, Dothan, Alabama; mother, Joyce Hancock, Abbeville, Alabama; sister, Laura Kim MacAloney (Daniel), Abbeville, Alabama; four grandchildren, Ashton Forguson, Paisley Forguson, Lena Garcia, and Grayson Gutting; nieces, nephews, and cousins.

George Hall, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on February 25, 2026, at the age of 90 in Dothan, Alabama. Born on March 26, 1935, in Midland City, Alabama, George’s life was defined by his unwavering devotion to his family, his work ethic, and his generous spirit.
George was the cornerstone of his family, survived by his loyal and loving wife of 73 years, Louise Reeder Hall. Their enduring partnership was a testament to true love and commitment. He was a cherished father to his daughters, Georgia (Larry) Givens, Kay Gerber, Tina Hall, and Geena Walsh, and a respected father-in-law to Mark Stanford. The legacy of his kind-hearted nature lives on through his grandchildren, Shane Givens (Sue), Trent Givens (Somer), Brad McKnight (Sheila), Chad McKnight (Ana), Matt McKnight, and Nicole Grider (Andy), as well as his adored great-grandchildren, Miles, Matthew, Audrey Givens, Bryce, Dylan, Savannah, Easton, Sawyer, Kaylee McKnight, Liberty Fountain, Leighana Lee, Gracie, and Gavin Grider. He also leaves behind a host of great-great grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and friends.
George’s life was one of service and dedication, not only to his family but also to his community. He attended Midland City High School, where he showcased his athleticism and team spirit on the football and basketball teams. He later translated his commitment to teamwork and leadership into a successful career, working for 30 years at Couch Construction as a superintendent. He also contributed his skills to Dothan Glass and Pittsburgh Paint, where his work was characterized by precision and reliability.
An avid fisherman, George found peace and joy in the simple pleasure of fishing on the Florida River. He also had a love for Alabama Crimson Tide football, never missing a chance to support his team each season. He had a knack for creating special moments, dressing as Santa Claus for his grandchildren year after year, much to their delight. George was known as the best dad and a good man, always ensuring that his love for his wife was evident as they were never apart throughout life’s journey.
Friends and family will remember George as a friendly and loving individual who always had a smile and a kind word for those around him. His presence brought warmth and comfort to any gathering, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him. George’s life was enriched by his special friendships with Mike Murphrey, Charles Owens, Glenn Phillips, and Faye Turner.
While we mourn the loss of George Hall, we also celebrate a life well-lived. His memory will continue to inspire us to cherish our loved ones, to commit wholeheartedly to our life’s work, and to spread kindness wherever we go. Preceded in death by his daughter, Fay Stanford; son-in-law, Greg Gerber; parents, Quincy and Nora Hall; and sister, Helen Loff, George leaves behind a family that will honor his legacy by living out the values he embodied.
George’s life story is one of dedication, love, and an unwavering commitment to those he held dear. As we say farewell to this remarkable man, we take comfort in knowing that his influence will continue to be felt for generations to come.
