Charles Dacus Obituary
Louisville - Charles E. Dacus, 93, passed into the presence of his Heavenly Father on October 10, 2018 at his home. He was a native of Logan, West Virginia. Charles was known for his kind, wise, gentle and generous spirit by all who knew him. Charles was a self-employed contractor for more than 60 years who gained the appreciation and respect of his customers because of his humble Christian character and servant's heart. His work was done with great skill and attention to detail. Charles served his country by joining the Army where he served both in Africa and Italy during WWII. He was a Master Mason. As a Christian, he enjoyed reading the Holy Bible. Charlie was preceded in death by his loving wife of more than 67 years, Wanda, as well as five brothers and sisters. He is survived by his niece, Lisa G. Brown, of Hurricane, West Virginia, nephew, Charles W. Dacus, of Gloucester Virginia, and nephew, Michael Aubrey of Louisville, who provided him companionship during his illness. He is also survived by three sisters-in-law, and a brother-in-law, all of Louisville. His life was lived for others, and he will be greatly missed.
A private graveside Celebration of Charles' life will be held at Evergreen Cemetery on Monday, October 15. Arch L. Heady & Son at Westport Village is in charge of arrangements.
Memorial gifts may be made in Charles' name to a Christian charity of your choice or Hosparus of Louisville.
