Charles Leroy ‘Chuck’ Elliott Jr., 77, mechanic who specialized in auto body repair

LELAND — Charles Leroy “Chuck” Elliott Jr. passed away Wednesday, July 12, 2017, at New Hanover Regional Medical Center.

Born Nov. 11, 1939, in Portsmouth, N.H., he was a son of Charles Elliott Sr. and Helen Norton Elliott. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Patsy Elliott, in 2004.

Chuck is survived by his children, Douglas Elliott, Teresa Elliott and Michael L. Elliott Sr., and his wife, Justine; grandchildren, Christopher Elliott, Michael L. Elliott Jr., Leanne Elliott, Reese Elliott and Rebekah Elliott; stepmother, June Elliott; his late wife’s uncle, Kirby Sullivan; and three sisters and one brother.

Chuck served in the U.S. Marines. He spent most of his life as a mechanic in auto body repair.

Chuck was a kind, mild mannered man who never met a stranger and would give you the shirt off his back. He was also an animal lover — especially dogs, chickens and cats.

A funeral service will be held at 10 a.m., Monday July 17, 2017, at First Baptist Church of Leland. Burial will be at the church cemetery.
