Charles Terrill Hendrick

Charles Terrill Hendrick, 62, went home to be with his Savior on Sunday, November 15, 2015. He is survived by his mother Wilma Roberts Hendrick, his sisters, Karen H. Moseley, A. Ann Wise and Susan D. Hendrick. Charles is also survived by five nephews and nieces; John M. Moseley, Heather A. Wise, Marc A. Moseley, Holly A. Moore and Joseph A. Wise; and by seven great nieces and nephews. His companion and caregiver, Jeannie Hooks, assisted with his care and comfort during his illness. Charles was predeceased by his father, Lunenis C. Hendrick. Charles was born in Bartow, Florida, on July 8, 1953, attended Fort Meade High School and spent most of his life in Fort Meade, Florida. He accepted Jesus as his Savior at 9 years old. He loved God throughout his life and memorized much of the Bible. He worked in construction for a number of years and later in metal salvage, and contributed his time and energies in helping others. His heart particularly resonated with helping the poor and needy. As a part of his daily life, Charles visited and assisted the widows and the elderly, and actively supported multiple charitable organizations. Charles had a compelling love for God's Word and took every possible opportunity to share God's love with those he met, even in his last days, witnessing to staff and visitors in the hospital. Charles told everyone who would listen that God loves them and closed every conversation and parting with "God Bless You." Above all, Charles wanted everyone to know the saving power of the Lord Jesus Christ. Visitation is at 10 a.m. and celebration of life service at 11 a.m. on Saturday, November 21, 2015, at the First Baptist Church, 307 E. Broadway St, Fort Meade, FL; followed by graveside service at Evergreen Cemetery, Fort Meade, FL.
