Charles N. Jeter Jr. November 26, 1949-March 27, 2015
One of the most influential people in child's life is a person's father; it is this man whose name they bare, and the person whose traits, for better or worse, they share. Fathers are a paradox; they are kind and gentle but, quite often, they can be hard and stern. They can be stoic and strong, but, when no one is looking, a father can weep and be weak. They are the men that defend their children, yet they punish them just as quick. Most of all, however, a father is a loving husband, and he is a man who loves his children and family unconditionally no matter the cost. My father Charles Narey Jeter Jr. was all of these things and so much more. It is impossible to reduce his life to a paragraph or two. No words can adequately express how he touched the lives of his family and friends. His contagious smile and boisterous laughter brought joy to a world that can often be bleak. These were his gift to us all and the memories that we can cling too. No one who met him could, or ever will, forget him. He was a man that could light up a room with the joy of his roaring laughter or clear the room with his booming voice. He was easy to argue with, and he loved to fuss, but no matter how much he fussed or complained he would always, always, give selflessly to others, and ultimately, in the end, he always said yes no matter what he was asked to do or to give. Many times he wanted or went without so that the people he loved, and sometime those whom he didn't, could have their heart's desires. He gave generously without thought of repayment to anyone who asked. He worked tirelessly for his family even though he was often in more pain than any normal man could bear. But he is now at peace. The pain is gone; his toils on earth are done. On March 27, 2015, while he slept peacefully, he was called home to be with the Lord. He touched all those people who knew him, and his presences made this world a better place. He will be missed, but he will live on in our hearts and our memories; we all carry on his legacy; our lives have been changed forever by the man that we called husband, father, grandfather, and friend. And he is at home with those who left this ethereal plain before him.
He is pre-deceased by his father Charles Narey Jeter Sr., his step-father Edward "Buddy" Hornsby, and his mother Dovie Hyatt Jeter Hornsby. He is preceded in death by one child?his stepson Chris Peek. He joins his sibling Kathleen Jeter; step-brothers Rudy and Randy Hornsby; and half sister Hope Hornsby Shealy in heaven.
He survived by his half sister Hyatt Hornsby. He leaves behind a loving and adoring wife Robin Hendricks Jeter. His legacy will live on in the children who were blessed enough to call this man "father," whom will miss him dearly: Charles Narey Jeter III and wife Tracy, Ashely Staton Threadgill, Grey Calvert Threadgill and wife Kelly, Jeremy Peek, Allan Mills and wife Stephanie, Allison Foy and husband Tommy, and his Grand Children, Ashlyn McCarty Jeter, Jeremy Staton, and Caroline Staton, Corbin Peek, Gabby Mills, Riley Mills, Regan Mills, River Foy, Lee Foy, Brandon Peek, Baily Peek, all of whom, he was immensely proud. Finally he is survived by his lifelong special friend Ellie Thomas of Columbia, SC.
Funeral services will be held on Monday March 30, 2015 at 11:00 AM in the chapel of Duckett-Robinson Funeral Home with burial to follow the service at Memory Gardens, Clemson.
