Victor Horton Horne, known best as Vic, passed away on August 12, 2024, at the VA Hospital in Salisbury, North Carolina. He was 75. Vic was born on June 28, 1949, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Vic grew up in a close-knit family and later forged a path marked by dedication in various aspects of his life, from military service to his long career.

Vic graduated from North Iredell High School in Statesville, NC, before earning his degree from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

Professionally, Vic dedicated 35 years to Salisbury Fiber Industries, also known as Hoechst Celanese among other names, retiring in 2004.

An active member of Third Creek Presbyterian Church in Cleveland, NC, Vic's faith has always played a significant role in his life.

Vic is lovingly remembered by his wife, Pamela Horne of Salisbury, and his daughter, Robin Lackey of Statesville. He was preceded in death by his parents, David and Frances Graves Horne; his brothers, David and Timothy Horne; and his youngest daughter, Frances Elaine Horne.

It was an honor to know Vic. He was gentle, soft spoken, and a faithful member of Third Creek Presbyterian Church. I respectfully offer my thoughts and prayers for the family and friends of Vic, especially to you Pam. Light and love to you.

I took over Vic's position at Hoechst Celanese when he retired. He was a good and patient teacher, and I appreciated his quiet manner and offbeat sense of humor. It was good knowing you, Vic.

When I first met Vic he said that Robin and I would have many happy memories together with God in our lives. I replied that we had already started then. We always departed with a I love you.
