Charles David "Chuck" Pittman, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and inspirational leader, passed away on January 19, 2025, in Peachtree City, GA. Born on October 8, 1953, in Decatur, GA, Chuck lived a life filled with dedication, family, and service, reaching the age of 71. Chuck's educational journey began in Decatur, where he graduated from Clarkston High School in 1971. He pursued higher education at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, earning a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Marketing in 1975. During his time at university, he was an active member of the Chi Phi Fraternity, Alpha Zeta Chapter, where he made lifelong friendships and met the love of his life, Gail Lester. They married on February 14, 1976, in LaGrange, GA, celebrating a "Forever Valentines" union that spanned nearly five decades. Chuck embarked on a successful career in the business world, working with industry giants such as Nestlé's Carnation Company, PepsiCo, and Gallo Winery. His career took him and his family to various cities across Florida, including Jacksonville, Tampa, and Orlando, from 1978 to 1996. In 1996, Chuck and Gail embraced entrepreneurship by founding Logo Depot, an online retail sales company, and moved to the serene surroundings of Lake Chatuge in Hiawassee, GA, where they resided until 2022 before settling in Peachtree City. Beyond his professional accomplishments, Chuck was deeply committed to his community and the Shriners organization. Introduced to the Masons and Shriners in 1985 by Charlie Pittman, Chuck joined the Yaarab Shrine in Atlanta, GA, where his jovial spirit earned him the nickname "Chuckles" as a member of the Oriental Band and Clowns Unit. His leadership abilities were recognized when he was elected to the Yaarab Divan in 2007, serving as Potentate in 2013. Chuck's dedication extended to healthcare, evidenced by his election to the Greenville Hospital Board of Governors in 2012.
