About Him

Mr. RZ Colton was born on October 13, 1950 to the late Lenell and Bertha Colton. He was a graduate of Greenville High School. His career began by joining the US army. After a short stay, he was honorably discharged. He then began a lifelong career in the textile industry. Employed for 49 years, he was a dedicated employee of Continental Industries in Hogansville. He also spent several years at Botex Industries in Hogansville, GA. He later found a passion for Christ, and he has been blessed with miracles from God, not only in his life but also in the lives of his loved ones. He had several spirit-filled testimonies often shouting and dancing. He had a special love for his Pastor, Robert Hopson and the True Gospel family. He loved his family dearly and others he may have connected with. He often did things for you just because and he would always ask, “Do you need anything”. Truly one can say the life he lived spoke for him.
