February 12, 1937 - February 4, 2024
Columbia, South Carolina - LCDR Charles West Jacocks III, US Navy (Ret.), 86, of Columbia, died on Sunday, February 4, 2024. Born in Columbia, SC, on February 12, 1937, he was a son of the late Charles West Jacocks, Jr., and Helen Fewell Jacocks. He was a graduate of Dreher High School and later graduated from the University of South Carolina having earned a bachelor's degree in business. Mr. Jacocks served 20 years in the US Navy Reserves. He wedded in June of 1959 and enjoyed a long, successful marriage of 64 years to Marcia Wells Jacocks.
His professional career spanned over 4 decades and began as a lineman for Southern Bell that later became management positions and ultimately a district manager and later lobbyist for BellSouth phone company. Prior to his retirement, hard work and dedication ultimately led to the opportunity to be the spokesman for BellSouth Telephone Company.
Free time was spent golfing, Gamecock sports, boating on the lake, building and general outdoor activities. He enjoyed photography, baseball and football. A good story always began at a cocktail party and Charlie will be remembered for his gregarious, friendly and outgoing personality.

Charlie and I were in the NROTC together. He was on the NROTC basketball team and was the most valuable player. He could score!. We also served in the Naval Reserves. Charlie was a good golfer and played many years in the NROTC tournaments. Above all, he was a fun guy to be around. Shipmate, fair winds and following seas. We will miss him greatly.
