Mr. Furnie Visa Singletary Jr., son of the late Furnie and Viola Brock Singletary was born May 10, 1948 in Bladen County. He departed this earthly life on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, at his home, surrounded by his family.

Furnie graduated from Bladen County Public Schools, and went on to become certified in Septage Management through the NC Department of Environmental Quality in Raleigh, NC. He went on to establish Singletary Septic Tank and Port-A-John Service, a company he dedicated to his mother, who prophesied its establishment and successful operation.

He accepted Christ at an early age, and worked faithfully in many churches, to include Fountain of Praise, where he served as a deacon.

Furnie was a kind hearted and caring man, who never met a stranger, and would always leave you filled with laughter.
