Charlie T. Dabbs

Charlie Thomas Dabbs, Jr., age 85, of Saucier, passed away on December 13, 2016.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Donna Simpson Dabbs, and his parents, Charlie Thomas Dabbs and Eula Dee Evans Dabbs.
Charlie is survived by his children, Thomas Daniel Dabbs (Teresa), Donna E. Brown (Andy), Shawn D. Coppock (Kim), Michael P. (Kaye) McCollister, 8 grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren, and other relatives and friends.
He attended Mississippi Southern College and resided on the Gulf Coast most of his life. He was involved in the banking business for most of his working life and was employed by Hancock Bank for many years where he retired as a loan officer and branch manager. He loved people and had a special knack for making folks comfortable, greeting everyone with a smile, a handshake and a pat on the back.
Charlie loved the outdoors and his passion was his farm in Saucier where he and his wife operated Dabbs Christmas Tree Farm for over 20 years until Hurricane Katrina destroyed the trees. They continued to operate a small u-pick blueberry business. He always said his customers were the finest people in the world. For the past few years, he operated a small RV Campground and enjoyed greeting folks from one end of the country to the other.
