Charles Killion ~ 1939 - 2026
- Details
Charles Richard Killion, age 86, passed peacefully on Sunday, January 18, 2026. He was born in Garland, Texas on July 10, 1939, to Luther and Freda Killion. He graduated from Garland High School in 1958 and then continued working with his father in the family business. He met the love of his life, Sally Ann Holland during his senior year in high school by a blind date and they were married on May 16, 1959. They celebrated 55 years of marriage and raised two children, Wendy and Todd.
Charles is survived by his daughter, Wendy Killion Thompson and husband, David of Heath, Texas and son, Todd Killion and wife, Gina of Murphy, Texas. He is also survived by beloved grandchildren, Michelle Hagaman and husband, Jared; Matthew Manning and wife, Amanda; Myles Manning and wife, Denise; Renner Killion, Kinsey Killion, Collin, and Andrew Thompson. Great grandchildren are Nevaeh Manning, Skylar Manning, Leanne Hagaman, Gentry Manning, Brooks Manning, and Memphis Hagaman. He is also survived by his sister, Linda Beller, numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. He is preceded in death by his wife, Sally Killion, his parents Luther and Freda Killion, and one sister, Shirley Morphis.
In 1964, he started GTM Plastics with his brother-in-law and they purchased Garland Saw and Lawnmower from his dad. He worked at GTM until his retirement at the age of 70. He was a US Air Force Veteran, recently received his 50 awards for being a lifelong member of Freemasons, Scottish Rite, and Shriners International. He was also a devoted member of his church. He enjoyed competing in Trapshooting where he won numerous awards, going on fishing trips with his son, son-in-law and grandsons and going to his lake house. His favorite thing of all was spending time with his family. He told everyone that his Family was his greatest joy!
Charles' legacy is not in things, but in the lives, he touched, the lessons taught and the unconditional love he gave. The values he lived by-especially his love of his family-lives on through his children and family. He will be deeply missed by all who have had the opportunity to know him. He will never be forgotten, and we are all better because of him.
The family will receive friends from 5:30-7:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 29, 2026, at Williams Funeral Home, 1600 S. Garland Avenue, in Garland, Texas.
