Obituary:
Mr. Charles B. Calhoun, Jr., age 75, of Tallapoosa, GA, passed away September 8, 2021.
He was born February 12, 1946, in West Point, GA, to the late Charles B. and Ruby Ayres Calhoun, Sr.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers-in-law, Richard Allen and Michael Keene.
Charles was first and foremost a teacher. For 31 years, he taught American Government at Haralson County High School, where he touched the lives of countless students, and he directed the Student Council for 29 of those years, serving as an example for their efforts. A 7th degree black belt, he taught Karate classes for over 40 years, shaping the lives of his many students. His Karate skills won him numerous trophies. An avid gun enthusiast, he taught his children, nephews, and nieces to shoot. He won many medals and trophies for his sharpshooting.
He was an experienced traveler. He took his children on multiple trips through the western states. He took teams of students to Europe with his children accompanying him on several trips. A talented sportsman, he coached basketball, baseball, golf, and tennis teams. He was a doting father whose example greatly influenced his children. He taught them to have fun and enjoy life, cherishing the little things like a secret handshake and cheating at thumb wrestling. Charles was a loving husband who constantly showed his devotion. He will be greatly missed.
Mr. Calhoun is survived by his beautifully devoted wife of forty-five years, Rebecca Calhoun, of Tallapoosa; a daughter, Caroline Calhoun, of Athens, GA; two sons and a daughter-in-law, Bryan Calhoun, of Atlanta, GA, and Rob and Elizabeth Calhoun, of Tuscaloosa, AL; two brothers and sisters-in-law, Cary and Lane Calhoun, of Bremen, GA, and Dr. Bill and Wanda Calhoun, of Carrollton; 12 nieces and nephews, James Calhoun, Mark Calhoun, Paul and Leah Calhoun, David and Crystal Calhoun, Maggie Chewning, Katie Chewning, Ross Chewning, Ben and Kimberly Hall and family, Amy Keene and Wendy Hamilton and family, Marshall and Laryssa Ferrara-Drane, Meaghan and Jay Hart and family and Melissa and Trey Smith; and sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Rev.
