Cledis L. 'Sonny' Abernathy, Jr.
Cledis L. "Sonny" Abernathy, Jr., 54, a resident of Summit, MS, died May 19, 2009, at St. Dominic Hospital in Jackson. He was born May 12, 1955 in Delhi.
He was the son of Cledis L. Abernathy, Sr. of Vidalia and Helen Harris Abernathy of Fruita, CO. He was a member of the Jehovah Witnesses West Congregation of McComb, MS.
