Charles "Charlie" Addison Wood, Jr., 78, formerly of Mocksville, went to his heavenly home Thursday, August 11, 2022, at New England Homes for the Deaf in Danvers, MA. He was born April 10, 1944, in Davie County. Charlie graduated from North Carolina School for the Deaf in Morganton. Many special memories were made when he and his friends attended parties and meetings in the deaf community. He was a member of Fork Baptist Church. Charlie loved the Lord, his church, and his church family. He loved to dance, eat, and traveling to the beach and mountains, but swimming was his favorite pastime. Being a social butterfly at heart, Charlie never met a stranger and loved people. He adored his family and friends who meant the world to him. Charlie loved the time he spent at New England Homes for the Deaf where he made many friends whom he loved. While there, he especially enjoyed craft time, with coloring and painting being his favorite. He was preceded in death by his father Charles Addison Wood, Sr.; his mother, Bernice Rebecca Seaford Hinkle; and two half siblings. A funeral service will be conducted at 3 p.m., Thursday, August 18, 2022, at Fork Baptist Church with Rev. Robert Garrett and Rev. Craig Seaford officiating.
