John McKeithan Obituary
LAURINBURG — John Charles McKeithan, 64, died November 20, 2020, with family by his side at Morrison
Manor, Hospice Care facility in Laurinburg, NC.
A family graveside memorial service was held Monday at Hillside Memorial Park. Charles was born July 1, 1956 in Laurinburg to Herbert and Norma McKeithan.
Charles is remembered as a loving person with an independent spirit. He lived a life of integrity, honesty, and selflessness. He was a great athlete in his day who loved the outdoors and was a devoted fan of the North Carolina Tar Heels.
His strong morals were paired with physical strength. Charles was a brain cancer survivor for two decades who never complained of lingering complications from the disease or treatment. Mr. McKeithan is survived by his mother, Norma McKeithan; two sons, Charlie and Cody McKeithan; stepson, Jimmy Moore, wife Rosemary McKeithan; and siblings, Mac (Becky) McKeithan; Laura Beth (Steve) Urie; Patsy Weber and Ray (Robin) McKeithan; 10 nieces and nephews and 14 great nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father, Herbert McKeithan, Jr. and brother, Clay McKeithan.
