Charles N. Avery, III died on August 14, 2018 at home after a long battle with cancer which he fought with grace, dignity and courage.
Charles was born on November 28, 1942 in Austin, Texas to Charles N. ("Buck") Avery, Jr. and Lucille Sharp Avery.
He attended Casis Elementary School, Pease Elementary School, O'Henry Junior High and Austin High School (Class of 1960). In 1966, Charles graduated from St. Edwards University with degree in marketing and finance.
On July 2, 1966, Charles married Beth Heller Avery and they had one daughter Marta Avery.
After graduation, Charles served in the US Army from 1966 to 1969 as an intelligence officer in Germany. After returning from Germany, Charles began his banking career as a National Bank Examiner from 1970 to 1977, then as an Executive V. P. of United States National Bank from 1977 to 1980, and as President of Sugarland State Bank from 1980 to 1992. After retiring from banking, Charles worked for a construction company in Houston until he and Beth decided to move to Round Rock to help with his family's real estate business. Charles's great-great grandparents emigrated from Sweden to Round Rock in 1854. They were prominent farmers and merchants in Williamson County, Texas. By 1900, his father's family had accumulated significant amounts of prime farm land in northeast Round Rock and Hutto. In 2000, Charles, his two brothers John S. Avery, Sr. and A. Nelson Avery, M.D., and his sister Christina Avery Fell, conceived of a plan for the development of their ancestral farms in Round Rock and Hutto as a hub for a medical and educational community. These family farms are now home to Texas State University, Texas A&M Health Science Centre, Austin Community College, Seton Hospital Williamson, Cornerstone Long Term Care Hospital, Medistar Post Acute Rehab Hospital, Texas State Technical College, Temple College and Texas A&M Central College. He was very proud of this accomplishment and its profound effect on the central Texas community. Charles was very active in the Round Rock community. Charles was very proud of having served as a member of the boards of the Old Settlers Association of Williamson County, Board of Governors of the Round Rock Community Foundation, Capital Idea, Ride on Center for Kids, and Seton Williamson Development Board. In 2007, the city of Round Rock honored Charles and Beth and his siblings with the Citizens of the Year award. In 2016, the Round Rock Chamber honored Charles and Beth and his siblings with the Lifetime Philanthropy Award and the Life Time Achievement Award.
Charles is survived by his loving wife Beth and his daughter Marta Avery Lue, his brothers John S. Avery, Sr. and A. Nelson Avery, M.D., and his sister Christina Avery Fell.
The family will receive friends and visitors Thursday, August 16, 2018 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at First Baptist Church, 306 Round Rock Ave. Round Rock, Tx.
Services will be at First Baptist Church, 306 Round Rock Ave, Round Rock, Texas on Friday, August 17, 2018, at 10:00 a.m., with burial and reception at the Palm Valley Lutheran Church, 2500 East Palm Valley Blvd., Round Rock, Texas.
Pallbearers are John Avery, Jr., Brian Fell, Charlie Fell, Eanon Horton, Allen Lue, Mark Buis, Brian Dees, and Mark Baker. Honorary pallbearers are Jon Sloan, George White, Jim Boles, and Jeff Andresen.
In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to send memorial contributions to the Crosswalk Church Building Fund, Ride on Center for Kids, or a charity of your choice.
Charles was a person who believed deeply in the teachings of Jesus Christ. He and Beth practiced their faith by going on mission trips all over the world, sponsoring foreign students, and by believing the tenant that it is always more blessed to give than to receive. Charles' favorite saying was "It is going to be alright!". We all loved him very much and we know that his saying is correct-it is going to be alright!
