Steve A. Strickland Obituary (1954 - 2017) - Spring Lake, North Carolina

Mr. Steve A. Strickland, 63, of Fayetteville, died Tuesday, October 24th, 2017 at his home. Steve was born May 12th, 1954 in Lumberton, NC. He was preceded in death by his mother, Flora Strickland and father Charles Strickland, his brother Jerry Turbeville, and sister Patsy Davis. Survivors included his two children, Jake Strickland of Milledgeville, Georgia and Haley Strickland of Greenville, NC; sisters, Kathy Jones and her husband Tim of Sanford, NC, Joyce Vaughn and her husband Stewart of Greer, SC; brothers, Jimmy Turbeville and his wife Dee of Benson, NC and Kenny Turbeville and wife Becky of Spring Lake, NC; along with many nieces and nephews. Steve volunteered many hours at the nursing home that his mother resided during her time of illness. After her release he continued to volunteer his time at the nursing home, taking flowers to the elderly patients and chatting with those who didn't have many visitors. He was a man who loved his children and always made it a point to call them everyday, even if it was just to say I love you and "Go Heels!" During the time when his children were still in school he would go out of his way to pick them up from school everyday just to spend extra time with them. He even headed the PTA during early elementary years to be as involved in their education as much as possible. His love, laughter, and phone calls will truly be missed. Visitation will take place Friday October 27th at Adcock Funeral Home in Spring Lake, NC from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Funeral service will be held at Cedar Falls Baptist Church in Fayetteville, NC on Saturday October 28th at 10:00 AM. Flowers are welcome or memorials may be made in memory of Steve to Cedar Falls Baptist Church Youth Program, 6181 Ramsey Street, Fayetteville, NC 28311.
