Chuck was born on May 22, 1959, to the late Charles and Vivian Carol Sutton in Kinston, North Carolina where he graduated from North Lenoir High School in 1977. He faithfully worked as a telecom tech and lineman for Duke Energy for 32 years. He also worked as a telephone tech and spent many years alongside his dad farming.

Chuck was a member of Cape Carteret Baptist Church and founder of Brookie’s Children’s Christmas Foundation and ministry. His kindness and compassion inspired him to create this ministry to help give a little joy to the children at the Broyhill Baptist Home in Clyde, North Carolina.

In his free time, he loved to be in the great outdoors, with his family. He especially enjoyed spending time hunting, fishing and on the boat. Coaching sports was another activity that he enjoyed and took great pleasure in when he was able to coach his children. He loved throwing the cast net at the pier and was thrilled to be able to teach that technique to his grandchildren. He also dearly loved his annual fishing trip to Murphy, North Carolina that he did with best friends and son.

He was an amazing cook and loved to grill for his family and friends and for special events. Chuck was known for his special clam chowder, his famous sauce and tasty barbeque.

Chuck was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. Most importantly, nothing made him happier than being beside his wife and spending quality time with his family.

He is survived by his loving wife of 38 years, Lycrecia Sutton of the home; daughter Amber Sutton Cummings and wife Amanda Cummings of Leland and their children, Gracen, Toren, Evan and Owyn; son, Charles Clyde Sutton IV and wife Blaire Cooke Sutton of Newport and their daughter, Charlotte; and Chuck’s brother, Johnnie Sutton and wife Lois and their family. Also surviving him are his mother-in-law, sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law and their families, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and multiple friends.

The family will receive friends from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 26, 2020, at Cape Carteret Baptist Church. The same safety guidelines will apply.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Chuck and Brookie’s Children’s Christmas Foundation at P.O. Box 221, Swansboro, NC 28584.
