Family, friends, church members, and community leaders gathered Tuesday, September 29, to celebrate the life and legacy of Pastor H. Larry Eason with a street dedication in his honor.

Macon-Bibb County officially dedicated Emory Avenue between Felton Avenue and Telfair Street as “Pastor H. Larry Eason Way,” recognizing his years of service, leadership, and impact on the community.

The ceremony began inside Greater Little Rock Baptist Church, where loved ones shared memories of Pastor Eason and reflected on the difference he made in the lives of those around him. Following the remarks, attendees gathered outside to unveil the new street sign.

“I praise God for the man God gave me. He was a great pastor. The whole church mourned him. He was a wonderful father and a beautiful person. I miss him dearly,” said his wife, Cynthia Eason.

Pastor David Stanley also reflected on Pastor Eason’s service to the church and the greater Macon community.

“We salute him. We thank God for him. We wish he could have stayed around a little longer to help us out in the City of Macon, but God said ‘Come on home. Servant, well done,’” said Pastor Stanley.

The new street name will serve as a lasting reminder of Pastor Eason’s life and the people he touched through his ministry and service.

For his family and church community, seeing his name along the street near Greater Little Rock Baptist Church ensures his legacy will remain part of the community he spent so much of his life serving.
