Ronald "Ron" Wayne Morgan

Ronald “Ron” Wayne Morgan, 82, of Charlotte, NC, passed away on April 11, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of generosity, love, and humor.

Ron graduated from Wayne High School in Wayne, New Jersey. He married the love of his life in 1967 and the couple moved to Ft. Myers, Florida in 1972. He earned his general contractor’s license a few years later and worked in the SW Florida area for over 40 years. He viewed that license not simply as a way to make a living, but as a means to help his community—freely sharing his knowledge, lending a hand, and guiding friends and colleagues through their own projects. As he fully embraced life in Florida, he also made one very important decision: becoming a die-hard Florida State fan. He followed the Seminoles through thick and thin.

Ron will be remembered above all as a man who deeply treasured his family. He was a devoted husband, father, father-in-law, and grandfather, and nothing brought him more joy than being with the people he loved. He was a presence at every ball game, every gymnastics meet, every piano recital. His family came first, always.

His “chosen family” – countless friends whose lives he touched over the years – all speak of his kindness, selflessness and his wicked sense of humor. Ron had a special way of making people feel valued and at ease, often leaving them with a smile or a laugh. He looked for the best in everyone and always counseled his children that everyone has something good in them; it’s our job to find it.

A church deacon in his later years, Ron lived out his beliefs through quiet, selfless service, always putting others before himself.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 58 years, Patricia “Pat” Morgan; his children, Brad Morgan (Katie), Brian Morgan (Ebony), and Jennifer O’Brian (Chris); and his cherished grandchildren, Elliott, Emmett, Eamonn, and Maggie.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be made to the Home Builders Institute at https://hbi.org/donate/.

A memorial service and reception will be held on May 9 at 2:00 p.m., at Holiday Inn and Suites Dawsonville, 16 Bethel Drive, Dawsonville, Georgia. Everyone who knew Ron is encouraged to attend, share your memories of him, and celebrate his life.

Michael "Mike" Luigi Donatelli

Michael “Mike” Luigi Donatelli, 67, of Monroe, North Carolina, passed away on April 11, 2026. He was born on March 12, 1959, in Cincinnati, Ohio, the son of the late Errol Luigi Donatelli and Betty Ann Claypoole Donatelli. He was also preceded in death by his brother, Troy Allen Donatelli.

An honorable VA memorial service will be held at a later date in Salisbury, North Carolina.

Mike is survived by his brother, Anthony Wayne Donatelli (Shelia); his three sisters, Carol Lee Galbraith (Jim), Vicki Kay Joyner (Billy), and Kim Annette Nash (Chris Hollingsworth); and his special nieces and nephews, Jacob Griffith (Candance), Kenzie Nash, and Melissa Sue Barnes, along with many other beloved nieces and nephews. Mike shared an undeniable and deeply loving bond with his sister, Kim, and together they had a connection that was unbreakable. He cared for and helped raise her children as his own, loving them with his whole heart. They were his lifeline, and Kim was his constant source of strength and love.

Mike proudly served his country in the United States Air Force until his honorable discharge. He was a member of the honor guard at the Maysville, Kentucky VFW, where he participated in military funeral honors, including firing the World War II M1 Garand rifle during the 21-gun salute. As a young teen, he played the bugle and marched with the Charlotte Police Junior Drum and Bugle Corps. He was also active in the Boy Scouts at a church near his childhood home. Above all, Mike was a devoted, God-loving Christian who boldly shared the word of God with everyone he met, living his faith daily and leaving a lasting impact on those around him.

Mike went on to own and operate a fire and safety equipment company for 14 years, where he built a reputation for hard work, reliability, and dedication to serving others.

Mike will be remembered as a man of unwavering faith, deep love for his family, and a servant’s heart. His legacy lives on through the lives he touched, the faith he shared, and the family he loved so fiercely. Though he will be deeply missed, there is comfort in knowing he is now at peace in the presence of the Lord he faithfully followed.

Elder Charles Leslie Smith

Elder Charles Leslie Smith, age 94, passed from this life to his life eternal on April 9th, 2026, at Autumn Care of Marshville.

Charles was born September 3rd, 1931, to the late Heyward Smith and Cora Lee Morrison Smith in Camden, South Carolina, where he was raised. As a teenager, he enjoyed playing sports, especially football. On July 28th, 1950, Charles married the love of his life, Dora Frances Boan Smith. They were blessed with 69 wonderful years of marriage before her passing in 2019. Together, Charles and Dora raised three children; Elliott Leslie Smith (Wanda) of Monroe, Robin Smith McCollum (Mark) of Monroe, and the late William Charles “Chuck” Smith. Following their children, Charles and Dora loved and spoiled five grandchildren; Tony Smith, Daniel Armstrong, Cindy Beaver, Emmy Craig (Adam), and Callie Helms (Casey). They also had nine great-grandchildren, three great-great grandchildren, and another arriving in June. Charles was very proud of his family and loved to share with others that he was old enough to have great-great grands.

One of Charles’ greatest joys in life was the call to preach. He began preaching when he was only 20 years old, dedicating 74 years to the ministry that God called him in to. Charles enjoyed nothing more than to study, teach, and discuss the Bible. He stood in the pulpit for the last time just three months ago. Charles’ daily walk with the Lord preached a powerful message of love, joy, and faith. His family, friends, and church family will cherish memories of his boisterous laughter, his inquisitive nature, and most of all, his love for the Lord.

A funeral service will be held at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, April 14, 2026 at Crooked Creek Primitive Baptist Church, 7918 Crooked Creek Church Rd. Monroe, NC 28110 with burial to follow in the church cemetery. The family will receive friends prior to the service from 10:00 AM until 10:45 AM at Crooked Creek Primitive Baptist Church.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the hospice nurses Nicole and Sabrina, social worker Hallie, CNA Lola, and chaplain Jeremy for their dedicated care during this time in Pat’s life.

Dr. C. Brian Odom

Following a short, brave battle with cancer, Dr. C. Brian Odom, Faculty Emeritus of Biology, Wingate University, of Wingate, NC passed away on April 9, 2026. A native of Spartanburg County, SC, he was the son of Clifford C. and Laura Ann Belcher Odom who preceded him in death.

Throughout his distinguished career, Dr. Odom authored numerous scholarly papers, delivered many professional presentations, and mentored many undergraduate student researchers, contributing significantly to his field. His most cherished accomplishments, however, were rooted in the classroom. He was especially honored to be the only faculty member at Wingate University to receive both undergraduate teaching honors: the inaugural Debra Marie O’Neal Award for Excellence in Teaching in May 2004 and The Charles and Hazel Corts Award for Excellence in Teaching in May 2012. These recognitions held deep meaning for Dr. Odom, reflecting his genuine love for teaching and his unwavering commitment to his students. Dr. Odom was scholarship personified; he took heed the words of Samuel Johnson, "To talk in public, to think in solitude, to read and to hear, to inquire and answer inquiries, is the business of a scholar."

Dr. Odom is survived by his wife, Amee H. Odom of Wingate, NC; uncle Joe Belcher (Connie) of Columbia SC; cousin Todd Belcher of Inman, SC; mother-in-law Christina B. Huneycutt of Albemarle, NC; and beloved family friend Hannah M. Wall (Thomas) of Oakboro, NC.
