Laban Blaine "Labe" Pilcher

Laban Blaine “Labe” Pilcher, age 30, of Ponte Vedra Beach, passed away unexpectedly on September 30, 2020 at his home. Born in Jacksonville, Florida, Laban moved with his family at the age of four to Cleveland, North Carolina. He graduated from Mooresville Christian Academy with the class of 2007 and went on to earn his Bachelor of Science Degree in Communications from Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina in 2012. After graduation he relocated back to Ponte Vedra, Florida. Labe worked as a Landscaper in his family’s business, Pilcher Property Services, where he was a crew leader. In his spare time, he was an avid sports fan, watching football and playing basketball. He also enjoyed fishing, music and was an avid reader and writer. Labe was tender – hearted and generous and was always willing to help anyone out. A deep thinker with a quick wit, he was always a level above and a step ahead. He was curious, mischievous, even a little stubborn, and loved to make people laugh. More than anything, he was made in the image of God, and experienced the love of Jesus. His favorite verse is Philippians 3:12-14--I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back.(from The Message) Labe loved his family and would never miss any event that involved being with them. He will be deeply missed by his family and by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He is survived by his parents, Mark and Trudy Pilcher, of Ponte Vedra Beach; brother, Isaac Pilcher (Jessie Ledwith) of Jacksonville; maternal grandmother, Annie Moseley of Cleveland, NC; and lots of aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Walter and Joni Pilcher and his maternal grandfather, Robert T. Moseley.
