The obituary: “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint – Isaiah 40:31” Pervis DeLeon Belin, Jr., (so lovingly called “June” by his family) was born on Thursday, January 22, 1959, in Dillon, SC, to the late Pervis D. Belin, Sr. and Fannie M. Ross Belin. He departed this life and entered into eternal rest on Thursday, April 13, 2023. During his formative years, he attended Florence County and Dillon County Public Schools, completing his secondary education at Latta High School in 1977. Pervis went on to attend South Carolina State University in Orangeburg, South Carolina where he not only studied business but developed a treasure of life-long friendships. While attending SCSU, Pervis was inducted into the noble bond of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. In May of 1982, he received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration with a Minor in Management & Marketing. Pervis had a unique gift of being meticulous with particular attention to details into every task. He leveraged this quality throughout a professional career that endured for almost 40 years of employment by a number of agencies and organizations: the Army & Air Force Exchange Service, El Paso, Texas; the US Department of Commerce-Minority Business Development Agency, Columbia, SC; Richland County School District #1; Hospitality Management; the South Carolina Department of Mental Health and the U.S. Census Bureau. After years of providing business acumen to various employers, Pervis returned home and continued serving as a faithful and devoted member of Bethel Hill AME Church, Latta, SC where he served in various capacities. In addition to being faithful and committed, he served as Secretary for the Latta Lodge #86 Free & Accepted Masons. Above all else, Pervis loved God and his family. He leaves to cherish his memories: his devoted mother, Ms. Fannie M. Belin, Latta, South Carolina; four sibling: US Army Retired (Lieutenant Colonel) Phillip F. (Marilyn) Belin of Clinton, Maryland; Rhonda D. (Herbert) Melton of Norfolk, Virginia; U.S Army Retired (Colonel) Anson W.R. (Darnette) Belin of Raleigh, North Carolina and Annette Z. (Willie – US Army Chaplain Colonel) Mashack, Woodbridge, Virginia; one aunt, Ms. Vashti Ross of Richmond, Virginia and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and close friendships.
