Mr. Charles Pope, aged 82, passed away on Tuesday, April 29, 2025. Born on March 23, 1943, in Charlotte, NC, he was the son of the late Oscar and Alice Lillian Steen Pope.

Mr. Pope served his country with honor in the United States Navy and, following his military service, dedicated his career to working as a security guard for various textile companies. He had a passion for fishing and enjoyed watching Westerns on television. However, his greatest joy came from spending quality time with his family, particularly his cherished grandchildren. He also took delight in collecting coins to pass on to them.

In addition to his parents, Mr. Pope was preceded in death by his brother, James R. "Ronnie" Pope, Sr.

He is survived by his loving wife, Maria Martinez Pope; his son, Anthony Charles Pope (Sandy) of Myrtle Beach, SC; his grandchildren, Anthony David Pope, Jr., Nicholas Pope, and Katherine Pope; and nephews, James R. Pope, Jr. (Karin McElveen) of Cheraw, SC, and Prentiss “Buddy” Pope of Hickory, NC.

A Graveside Service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 6, 2025 at Bethel Cemetery in Blenheim, SC.
