Charles Wayne Terry, 83, of Connelly Springs, passed away on Thursday, March 6, 2025, following a motor vehicle accident.

Charles was born on May 11, 1941 in Burke County, a son of the late Earnest and Ruby Clarke Terry.  He was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed hunting and fishing.  He coached recreational basketball and football for many years and could often be found watching NASCAR and old westerns in the comfort of his home.  More than anything, he loved his family.
