Charles Gordon Bishop, 87, born and raised in Jesup, GA, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, under the care of the wonderful nurses and staff of Hospice of South Georgia.

Charles worked at ITT Rayonier for 39 years before retiring in 1996.

Charles loved to spend time outdoors and enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping and vacationing in Daytona Beach. For many years, he would plant a small vegetable garden, and he would always be sure to share his daily pickings with others. Charles was also an excellent Mr. Fix-it and was always ready with tools in hand. If he didn’t happen to have on hand just what he needed to fix the problem, he could easily find other items to fashion into just what he needed to make it work. He would often spend hours just tinkering around his workshop, riding around his property on his buggy, or sitting on his back porch enjoying nature.

Charles was preceded in death by his parents, Gordon and Ruby Bishop, and his sister, Carolyn Maley.

Survivors are his wife of 67 years, Nannette Landrum Bishop of Jesup; a son Dr. Charles, Jr. (Leslie) Bishop of Jesup; two grandchildren, Emily Bishop (Kyle) Quellmalz of Freeburg, Illinois and Bradley Bishop of Chicago, Illinois; two great-grandchildren, Harper and Carter; two brothers, Frederick (Connie) Bishop of Screven, and Demery (Bonnie) of Tybee Island; and several nieces and nephews.

There will be a private graveside service held at a future date in the Pinecrest Memorial Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Hospice of South Georgia, 1425 Sunset Blvd., Jesup, GA 31545

Rinehart and Sons Funeral Home of Jesup is in charge of arrangements.
