Southard, at the age of 91, went home to be with Jesus on Friday, December 27, 2019, after a brief period of declining health.

He was called by God to be a Baptist preacher at the age of 35, while working at General Motors in Doraville, GA. He later returned to Franklin to begin his ministry of pastoring in several local churches which included Bible Baptist Church, Central Baptist Church and Victory Baptist Church. He was the founding pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church where he is currently a member. He had a radio broadcast, "The Gospel Light" which aired on WFSC on Sunday mornings for several years. His ministry has touched the lives of many people. He enjoyed gardening, reading, hunting, fishing, the outdoors, and his pets. The family will receive friends Sunday, December 29 from 6 until 8 pm at Macon Funeral Home. Services will be held on Monday, December 30 at 3:00 PM at Emmanuel Baptist Church with Rev.
