Charles Larry Chappell, 64, of Marston, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2025 at FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital, Pinehurst.
He was born May 17, 1961 in Richmond County, son of the late Fred Charles Chappell and Mary Lee Terry Chappell.
Larry was a member of Mount Carmel Free Will Baptist Church, Rockingham, and dearly loved his church family. Over the years, he enjoyed fishing and hunting, and especially trips to the beach in Cherry Grove, South Carolina.
Larry also loved old cars and participating in car shows. He was very active in his earlier years driving 18-wheelers, baled pinestraw for many years, and was a car salesman, owning and operating Chappell’s Auto Sales.
His family fondly remembers that Larry always passed out candy, whether to a stranger, or with his church family, hospital visits, and doctor offices. Larry had a humorous personality and loved to joke. He was a caring man that truly loved and especially loved his family. His grandchildren were a highlight in his life. He will be dearly missed.
