“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and service of former Isle of Wight County supervisor, Pastor William McCarty. I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing in January. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Known to his community as ``Pastor MAC,'' he was a friend and tireless servant to the Isle of Wight community as both a pastor at Healing Waters Worship Center and a local elected official. He first came to our region as a 22-year-old in 1999 to revive the small Smithfield Church of God congregation, spending more than 25 years successfully growing it into the thriving church community it is today. As the true servant he was, he successfully ran to represent Carrollton on the board of supervisors in 2015, working tirelessly to make sure that Isle of Wight was one of the fastest-growing counties in the Commonwealth of Virginia. My thoughts are with his loving wife, Amanda, and their two children and their granddaughter. May God uplift his family and loved ones in this time of sorrow and bless his memory. We will always be grateful for his service to his community and to our Commonwealth. ____________________”
