Charles Edward Adcock Jr.'s Obituary
Charles (Chuck) E. Adcock, Jr., July 31, 1953-April 16, 2026. Chuck was born in Carrolton, Missouri to Helen Rose Adcock and Charles E. Adcock, Sr. At a young age, his family relocated to Eustis, FL where he lived until 1994. He was a proud member of the Class of 1971 at Eustis High School. Chuck’s first career was in banking, serving Lake County at both Sunbank and later Umatilla State Bank. His second career took him to Jacksonville, FL where he was a District Supervisor for Gate Petroleum Company. He retired from Gate after 23 years of service and relocated to Tallahassee to be closer to his sons and grandchildren. He was married twice. First to Donna Lynn (Godwin) Creamer with whom he has three children. And then to Barbara Jean Adcock who predeceased him. In addition to Barabara, he was preceded in death by his mother, Helen, and his father, Chuck, Sr.
