Tab Dwain Little's Obituary
Tab Dwain Little, 54, of Locust, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, at Atrium Health Main in Charlotte surrounded by his family. A devoted son, father, grandfather, and friend, Tab’s life was marked by kindness, hard work, and a heart that never hesitated to give.
Born in Stanly County to Ted Little and Judy Moore, Tab was a lifelong resident who stayed true to his roots. He worked alongside his father in the poultry farming industry, where his dedication, integrity, and strong work ethic defined him as a man you could count on, day in and day out.
Tab was the kind of person who never met a stranger. He was giving to a fault, always ready with a laugh, a story, or a helping hand. A true country boy at heart, he loved fast cars, his Harley, and spending time with those he loved most.
He is lovingly survived by his parents, Ted Little and Judy Moore; his children, Brittney Little (Pierce), Mackenzie Ward (John), and Taken Little; his grandchildren, Saylor, Scott, SJ, and Simon; his sister, Tammy Hathcock (Jeff); his brother, Todd Little (Rocio); and his nieces, Jessica Arthur (Don), Jennifer Bober (Mike), Emma and Camille Little and special friends Chris and Kim Eudy.
A visitation will be held on Saturday, June 28, 2025, from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. at Stanly Funeral & Cremation Care in Locust. A funeral service will follow at 10:30 a.m. in the chapel, officiated by Pastor Wesley Barbee. Burial will take place at Oakboro Cemetery.
Tab's legacy of love, laughter, and loyalty will live on in all who had the blessing to know him.
Stanly Funeral & Cremation Care of Locust is honored to serve the Little family.
