Charles Rawlins Obituary

Visit the Allen & Allen Funeral Home and Crematory - Thomasville website to view the full obituary.
Hunter, fisherman, and avid UGA Alumnus, Charles Emory Rawlins, passed away unexpectedly Monday, January 22, 2024. Chuck was born March 22, 1947, in Whigham, Georgia, and graduated cum laude from the University of Georgia School of Law. He was partner and owner of McCollum and Rawlins in Thomasville, Georgia, where he practiced law for 40 years. Chuck retired in 2014 and spent his time doing the four things he liked best: shooting dove, fishing for snapper and grouper in the Gulf of Mexico, spending time with loved ones, and tending to the most well-maintained lawn in Thomsville.
He is survived by his son, Jason (Tallahassee, FL), son, Matthew (Rachel) and granddaughters Olivia and Harper (Thomasville, GA), brother, Larry (Judy) of Cairo, GA, and life partner of 28 years, Pat Powell (Thomasville, GA). He was predeceased by his father, Wilmere Clark Rawlins and mother, Alma Booth Rawlins (Whigham, GA).
A quiet man of few words, he nonetheless loved his family fiercely and will be missed greatly. Birds of the air and fish of the sea need fear him no longer!
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date in his honor.

Still miss Charles Rawlins my uncle. We spent so much time together. My grandma Rawlins would pick me up from school and already have my clothes packed. Loved Grandma Rawlins so much.

Chuck and I frequently exchanged fishing stories about St Marks, Alligator Pt, Dog Islandc area. Of all the fellow fisherman, I´ve shared GPS coordinates with Chuck was the only one who ever admitted that he finished one of my holes and to show his appreciation actually brought me back to big fat, grouper fillets, vacuum, sealed, ready to go!
When we would see each other on occasion, he was always very encouraging to me in my slight foray into local politics! I thought a lot of him!
