Charles Harvey Markham

Charles Harvey Markham, 82, went home to be with the Lord and his wife, JoAnne, on Tuesday, October 10, 2023, at his home in Brown Summit.

A funeral service will be held at 2:00 PM , Saturday, October 21, 2023, at Wilkerson Funeral Home. Burial will follow in Evergreen Memory Gardens. The family will receive friends Friday, October 20th from 6:00—8:00 PM at Wilkerson Funeral Home and other times at the home.

Charles loved his family and children more than anything, but his love for Dale Earnhardt was a close second.  He had a soft spot for animals, especially horses, labs and black cats. He could  frequently be found driving his Gator, Jeep, or watching the Young and the Restless. Charles had a loving, giving soul, and he will be remembered for his  wisdom and willingness to give.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Harvey and Thelma Aycock Markham; wife, JoAnne Markham and son-in-law, Jeffrey Shaver.

Charles is survived by his daughters, Audra Markham and Lisa Shaver; son, Charles Kerry Markham; grandchildren, Brianna Markham (Daniel), Kayleigh Hoeft (Michael), Michael Dale Early, Jr. (Whitney), Morgan Haines (Joseph), Steven Hyler (Lovey), Jeremy Hyler, Melissa Hyler, Leslie Adair (Chris),  Jennifer Degroot (Tim), Sylvia Mapili (Orlando); 15 great-grandchildren; sister, Beverly Sanders; niece, Sarah Bock (Owen); special friends, Henry Chapman, Ginger Shaver, Donnie Whitfield, in addition to many family and friends in the Joanne Moore Markham family.
