Brian Kevin Aldridge

Brian was born on January 1, 1969, in Folkston, Georgia to James Vernon Aldridge Sr. and Barbara Jean Lambert Aldridge.

He started his career and spent many years at White-Oak Plantation, where many of his coworkers became family.

Brian attended Southside Baptist Church in Nahunta, Georgia. He loved his family, and he loved the Lord. He had a servant’s heart and would give the shirt off of his back to anyone in need. Brian’s world revolved around his two grandsons, who were the light of his life.
