Charles Supin Obituary
Born: January 31, 1933 | Died: December 21, 2025
Charles Robert Supin, age 92, died peacefully in Boone, NC, December 21, 2025. Born January 31, 1933, in New York City, Charles and his beloved wife of 66 years, Benita (Bonnie) Percik Supin, lived an adventurous life in New York City, Long Island, Las Vegas, Bald Head Island NC, Jefferson NC, and Boone NC. A graduate of Adelphi University (BA in Theater), Yale's Berkeley Divinity School (MA in Divinity), University of Nevada Las Vegas (MFA in Playwriting), and an ordained Episcopal priest, Charles enjoyed careers as rector, national church leader, playwright, screenwriter, actor, critic, and business owner.
Charles is preceded in death by his parents, Louis Frank Supin and Eleanor Wisdom Evers Supin and brothers-in-law William Robert Fleischhauer and Alan McCulloch. He is survived by his wife, Benita Percik Supin, sister Eleanor Joan McCulloch, daughter Jeanne Leanora Supin, son Robert Wisdom Supin (Kira MacDonald), grandchildren Nicholas Broderick Supin, Lindsey Alec Supin (David Peck), Madeline Teresa Koch (Michael Perkins), great granddaughter Willow Jean Perkins, step grand and great grandsons Alden Taylor Lee and Jase Matthew Peck, nieces Dana Lyn Fleischhauer, Jo Ann Fleischhauer, and Amy Beth Wertheim (William Wertheim) and their children and grandchildren.
Charles loved nothing more than learning about and facilitating his loved ones' desires, and he will be remembered for his deep intellect, curiosity, and commitment to his family's wellbeing. He also had really great stories. Late in life, when pressed by his children, he revealed he was particularly proud of three things: his family, his unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and his continual willingness to change his mind and evolve his beliefs. His influence and legacy will extend for generations.
A memorial service was held Saturday January 3, 2025, at 2:00 pm at St. Mary's Church, 400 Beaver Creek School Road, West Jefferson, NC. In lieu of flowers, please consider contributing to the ACLU, the Ashe County Arts Council, or High Country Caregivers.
