Dr. Claud Conrad Mershon, 78, passed away peacefully at home in his sleep on May 25, 2019. He and his wife Janet Marie Mershon shared 59 years of marriage together. Born in Orlando, Florida, he was the son of Claud and Irene Mershon. He attended Georgia Tech. An entrepreneur, Conrad was a Christian counselor, a hunter, a pilot, FAA certified mechanic, and the former owner and CEO of Turbines International. Devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Conrad loved the Lord and his family. He belonged to Fairway Christian Church in The Villages. He and Janet helped to begin Missions Ablaze in Durban, South Africa and served on the board. Through Missions Ablaze, thousands of families and children have been fed and cared for. While living on Saint Simons Island, Georgia he began and ran the Life's Answers Counseling Center for 12 years. Conrad enjoyed working with his hands, and it sometimes seemed there was nothing he couldn't repair, including his favorite 1938 show-worthy antique Morris Minor. He is survived by his spouse, Janet, children Kathleen Marie (daughter) and Bruce McClenahan, and William (son) and Kimberly Mershon. His grandchildren are Tucker Mershon, Reese Mershon, Alex Mershon, Abby (McClenahan) Timson, Zachary McClenahan, and Kathleen E McClenahan.
