Recent Losses: Remembering Lives Impacted by Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure

As we reflect on the importance of health awareness and the devastating impacts of diseases like mesothelioma, we pay tribute to community members who have recently passed away. These stories remind us of the vital need for research and support for affected families and individuals.

Reneé Meadors Hansen: A Life Cut Short

Reneé Meadors Hansen, aged 56, passed away on June 28, 2011, at her mother’s home after battling a long illness, which may have had ties to asbestos exposure. Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Reneé had roots in Covington and was a proud graduate of Newton County High School, later earning her Bachelor’s Degree in Interior Design from the University of Georgia. An active sorority member and churchgoer, her smile and energy touched many lives.

Reneé is survived by her husband, children, and a loving extended family, all of whom cherished her devotion. Her funeral, held on July 2, 2011, at Covington First United Methodist Church, gathered those who knew her best, just as donations poured in to the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation in her honor.

Larry Joe Morgan: A Veteran’s Valor

On April 20, 2025, we said goodbye to 80-year-old Larry Joe Morgan, a cherished resident of Watkinsville, Georgia. Larry’s life was rooted deeply in service; he was a dedicated soldier in the US Army during the Vietnam War, earning a Purple Heart for his bravery. However, his later years were tragically impacted by asbestos exposure, as his role in various construction projects likely placed him in harm’s way.

Larry’s legacy includes a successful career where he owned multiple businesses across the Southeast while also providing for his loving family. He leaves behind his wife, children, and grandchildren, all of whom carry the weight of his absence. His funeral service, held on April 22, 2025, served as a solemn reminder of the sacrifices he made for our freedom and the importance of keeping communities informed about the risks of asbestos.

Tim Watson: A Quiet Soul Lost

Tim Watson, known simply as a kind-hearted fisherman and devoted family man, passed away recently and leaves behind a family that will miss him dearly. He is survived by his beloved wife and children. Tim’s work with United Bankshares demonstrates the impact he had not only in his family but also in his community.

A private service was observed, reflecting Tim’s deep love for intimate gatherings, a stark contrast to the darker realities of health issues that many face today, including potential risks linked to asbestos. His loss underscores the urgent need for awareness surrounding such dangers.

Charlotte Denise Rogers: Heartfelt Farewell

Losing Charlotte Denise Rogers on April 1, 2025, leaves a void that is felt by many. Born in Athens, she was a dedicated evangelist and gospel singer. Well-loved in her community, Charlotte was a radiant presence at her local church and leaves behind a large family, filled with love and cherished memories.

As her family held a visitation and funeral on April 4, 2025, they also honored her legacy of faith and resilience. Though no immediate connection to asbestos exposure is noted, her life and the lives of others remind us that health issues tied to harmful environments are a community concern.

Donald Scott Truluck: A Legacy of Service

Finally, we remember Donald Scott Truluck, who passed away on April 11, 2025. Having served in the US Army and a notable career at Bellsouth/AT&T, Donald embodied community service. His family remains, profoundly impacted by his loss and the lingering effects of potential asbestos-related occupations.

As we honor these individuals, we call attention to the ongoing need for education about mesothelioma and asbestos exposure. These heartfelt stories shed light on the importance of supporting research and initiatives aimed at addressing these significant health risks. Donations made in memory of loved ones not only pay tribute to their legacy but are also a beacon of hope for those battling similar challenges today.
