Mr. Charles Edward Melton, 79, of Holcomb, passed away Friday, June 5, 2026 at his residence surrounded by his family.  Charles was born December 24, 1946 to J.C. and Christine Fisk Melton.  On October 3, 1966, he married Bobbie Scallions.  They enjoyed nearly 60 years of marriage and to this union, two sons were born: Charles Anthony “Tony” Melton and Ronnie Lee Melton.  

Charles began his career at Lyon, Inc. and enjoyed a career that spanned over 47 years.  Through all the name changes to Rockwell International, Randall Textron and Grenada Stamping, Charles stayed with the company.  He enjoyed raising a garden and blessed his family and friends by sharing the fruits of the garden with them.  

Above all, Charles was a man of God.  He was a member of the Church of God of Prophecy for over 50 years.  Whatever the Pastor asked Charles to do, he did it with a servant’s heart.  We find peace that he is at rest with his Jesus now.

Funeral services will be held at 2:00 PM Wednesday, June 10, 2026 at McKibben and Guinn Funeral Service with Rev. William Tribble, Rev. Tim Winters and Rev.
