Obituary published on Legacy.com by Parrott Funeral Home & Crematory

Charles Lynn Ellyson, age 67, of Fayetteville, Georgia, passed away December 14, 2025. He was born on January 17, 1958, in Canton, Ohio, to Charles and Marjorie Ellyson. Chuck grew up working on his family's dairy farm in Northeastern Ohio. He graduated from Malone College and then Florida Institute of Technology with a master's degree in aviation management. Chuck served as a pilot in the United States Air Force for 7 years, flying the F-15. He worked for Delta Air Lines for 34 years, as a pilot, Fleet Captain, General Manager of International Operations, and instructor. He volunteered with Square Foot Ministry and as an interim pastor for New Providence Church. Chuck enjoyed cycling, skiing, traveling, and the many family traditions that he inspired. With all he accomplished, his greatest gift was his Christian witness and his undying love for his wife, children, grandchildren, family, and friends. Chuck impacted all who knew him and will be sorely missed.
