Charles McDill's Obituary
Charles Wayne McDill was born August 7, 1942, in Talladega, Alabama and passed away peacefully at the age of 81 on May 11, 2024, in Dallas, Texas.
Charles married Katie Tindall on January 9, 1965, and they spent most of those 59 years residing in Mesquite, Texas.
Charles worked in the insurance industry and as an owner and operator of Rolling Hills Child Development Center. He enjoyed those roles as Mr. McDill in the insurance business and Mr. Charles at the daycare; but in his best role, he was called Dad and Papa. He spent countless hours teaching us, playing with us, coaching us, practicing with us, talking to us and being there for whatever we might need. Dad was always a phone call away.
Charles was known to be a jokester who loved to laugh and make others laugh as well. He was quick-witted and rarely missed an opportunity to crack a good joke.
Charles lived his life, loving his family every moment possible. He attended every school performance, football game, softball game, soccer game, basketball game, volleyball game, baseball game, stock show, track meet, and whatever else his kids or grandkids were a part of. If they were participating, they knew Dad or Papa would be there.
Charles is preceded in death by his mother Clara McDill, his father Carl McDill, and sister Linda McDill.
Charles is survived by his wife Katie McDill, children Charla Turner and husband Joe, Paul McDill and wife Jill, Carrie Austin and husband Keith. As well as grandchildren Kylee Loustaunau and husband Tonny, Chanlynn Bane and husband Justin, Caleb McDill and wife Kensley, Caden Turner, Corbyn Austin, Kyndall Austin, Tindall Turner, Noah McDill, Joshua McDill, Julia McDill, and great grandchildren Jaci-Belle Bane, Malachi McDill, and Ellie-Kate Bane, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
