🌟 TRIBUTE TUESDAY: Honoring Dave Cyr 🌟

For this week’s Tribute Tuesday, Watson Hunt is honored to recognize Dave Cyr, President of Parrish Construction, for his faith-driven leadership and deep commitment to serving the Perry community.

Those who know Dave best often say he has always led Parrish Construction with Christ in front, allowing his faith to shape both the culture of the company and the way people are treated. From the earliest days of the business, Dave believed success should create opportunities to give back.

As Parrish Construction grew, so did its involvement in the local community. Dave made it a priority for the company to stay engaged in Perry, not just through construction projects, but through service. Parrish Construction faithfully gives each year to multiple charities and supports initiatives that strengthen education, healthcare, and community resources.

Dave’s impact is perhaps best reflected in the people who worked alongside him. Former employees often speak with pride about their time at Parrish Construction and credit Dave for building a culture rooted in integrity, trust, and putting people first. Many are proud to say they retired from Parrish, and that Dave is a major reason the company became such a special place to work.

Dave Cyr’s legacy is one of faith in action, leadership through service, and a heart for community. Watson Hunt is grateful to honor a leader whose influence reaches far beyond the jobsite.

A new year can bring pressure to feel hopeful before your heart is ready. Faith does not mean pretending everything is okay. Faith means trusting God while you are still hurting. Healing does not come from forcing joy but from allowing God to meet you exactly where you are. Take this month one slow step at a time and let Him carry what feels too heavy. 🤍🌨️

🌟We are proud to kick off the New Year with our first Tribute Tuesday honoring Argene Claxton.🌟

Today we celebrate a beloved educator, mentor, and friend whose influence has shaped generations of students and strengthened the Perry community in lasting ways.

Argene puts the Lord first in all things and has often shared that everything he has accomplished over the years was made possible through the help of others. He never seeks full credit and instead chooses to recognize the students, colleagues, and community members who worked alongside him to make a lasting difference. That humility is part of what makes his impact so meaningful.

For nearly four decades, Argene dedicated his life to agricultural education and FFA, guiding students with passion, patience, and a genuine love for helping young people discover their potential. They grew into leaders who now flourish throughout our community and beyond our neighboring borders, carrying with them the lessons he taught about hard work, responsibility, and service.

In recognition of his lifelong commitment to agriculture and youth development, Argene was inducted into the Georgia Agricultural Hall of Fame in 2024. This honor reflects not only his professional achievements, but also the countless lives he has influenced through mentorship, leadership, and encouragement.

The Argene Claxton Canning Plant in Perry stands as a reflection of that legacy. Serving all middle and high school FFA programs in the Houston County School District, the facility provides hands on learning while teaching the value of agriculture, food preservation, and where our food comes from. It is a place where education meets community and where future generations continue to learn.

Those who know him best also know his deep love for the Perry community. He is quick with a smile, generous with his time, and always ready to share a laugh. His warmth and sincerity have made him not just a respected educator, but a cherished part of Perry. 🫶
