Gary Pinion's Obituary
Gary Pinion, 82, passed away peacefully at Trinity Place on December 14, 2022. He was preceded in death by his father, Harlan Lucas, mother Ollie C. Pinion and stepfather, D. Cline Pinion.
Following many years working in manufacturing and sales, God called Gary to preach in 1992. He attended Carolina Bible College where he received a Doctorate in Bible Theology. He served as Associate and Interim Pastor at several local churches. Gary spent many years as a member of Gideons International and a loyal supporter even longer. Gary was an avid golfer and was excited to shoot his age at 72. He was known to be a man of prayer, and many have been blessed over the years by his faithful prayer life.
He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Barbara Pinion, son Wayne Pinion (Jan) of New London, daughter Wendy Eudy (Mike) of Albemarle, grandchildren Jessica Dampier (Shaun), Trey Pinion (Whitleigh), Lindsey Chilton (Zac), Stephen Eudy (Shelly) and great grandchildren Kylar Pinion, Avaleigh Pinion, Layla Dampier, Alex Dampier, Cooper Chilton, Gage Eudy and Cleo Carter.
The family would like to thank Jeremy Almond, Josh Mowery and the staff at Trinity Place for the exceptional care Gary received there.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Prospect Baptist Church, Albemarle or Gideons International.
Visitation will be held at Prospect Baptist Church on Friday, Dec 16th at 12:30 with the service to follow at 2:00. Burial will follow in Fairview Memorial Park.
