Asa spent his formative years in Charlotte, N.C attending Alexander Street Elementary and Second Ward High. Before going on to higher education, Asa spent three years in the United States Army. Completing his education, he went on to Mecklenburg (formerly Carver) College where he graduated top of his class. He earned his Bachelor of Arts from UNC-Charlotte with honors while working full time as a postman. Asa retired from the Post Office and went on to receive his Masters in Poetry from Columbia University in New York City. Asa is listed in the Charlotte Public Library as one of North Carolina’s poets. He has published numerous poems and prose including a book of poetry entitled Public Poems.
Asa was raised in what is now known as First Baptist Church-West in Charlotte, NC. He joined the Unification Church, now know as The Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, in 1976 and was a faithful member, canvassing over the United States as a missionary and writing for their publications. Asa was Blessed in marriage on August 25, 1995 as part of the 360,000 couples at the Grand Ballroom of the New Yorker Hotel. In his latter years he served as a missionary with the Charlotte Family Church until his death.
The family thanks Asa’s loyal friend, church member and neighbor, Donald Bramwell, who went the extra mile to aid and care for our loved one. We, the family, thank the members of the Unification Church, (FFWPU), who visited often and sent up prayers. We thank Levine & Dickson Hospice of Huntersville for their tender loving care. The family also thanks all of the many doctors, nurses, CNA’s and social workers who helped to make Asa’s last days, weeks and months bearable. We Love You!
