John Charles Dick

John Charles Dick, Charlie, or Pappy to his grandchildren, age 73 passed away at his home Monday February 21, 2022. Charlie was born to the late Lester Columbus and Pearl Tucker Dick in Albemarle, NC.

Charlie grew up in Charlotte before moving to Shelby, as a man where he found his cherished bride, Catherine Alice Ross Dick. They built a life together through forty-three years of marriage and were blessed by the Lord with two sons. Years later they found themselves blessed again with two daughters-in-law's, who he viewed and treated as his real daughters, loving, and doting on them. It was to his sons that he imparted his faith in Christ (which he found at a Billy Graham crusade) and his sarcastic wit which always strove to bring a smile to the firmest pressed lips. This faith and wit is a legacy that will be passed on to his grandchildren, his most precious and prized possessions, to whom he is, and always will be, Pappy. Even on the hardest of days, his priority was those grandbabies. Thomas always had a curated snack waiting for him after school and a dear friend in Pappy to talk about his day. Heidi and Micah always had a ride on his back and a warm nap in his secure and loving arms, with Pappy normally nodding off too. It was with excitement and joy that he looked forward to loving on and spoiling Gillian and Deacon.

Charlie is survived by his loving bride Catherine, his sons Charles Thomas Dick I (Tommy) and John-Michael Dick I, their brides, his daughters-in-love Brittany Pearl, and Brittany Michael, as he called them, and his blessed grandchildren Charles Thomas Dick II(Thomas), Heidi Catherine Dick, John-Michael Dick II (Micah), and soon to arrive Gillian Jade Dick and Deacon Davis Dick.

The family will receive friends from 5:00-6:30 Thursday February 24, 2022, at Cecil Burton Funeral Home and Crematory. A graveside service will be held at 3:00 Friday February 25th, 2022, at the family home site.

In Lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the National Right to Life.
