Charles Pulliam

Charles Keith Pulliam, 85, of Royston, Georgia, went to be with his heavenly father on October 1, 2026. He was a husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend. He loved the Lord.

Charles was born in Madison County, Georgia, on March 19, 1941 to John Columbus Pulliam and Allene Hill Pulliam. He grew up in the Seagraves Mill Community with his five siblings, Eleanor, Virginia, Johnny Sue, Kenneth, and Paul on a Cotton Farm.

Following his military service in the U.S. Army, he worked for Northeast Georgia Business Machines in Athens, Georgia and studied business machines in New York. In 1966, he started his own business, Northeast Georgia Equipment Sales in Franklin Springs, Georgia, eventually moving his business to Royston, Georgia. Due to the growth of his business, he moved several times in Royston. After years of success, business machines became obsolete and changed to electronics.

At this time, he expanded his business to include office supplies and furniture. In the years to come, he started Paradise Custom Vans and ran it for 12 years. He continued to be a businessman at heart by helping his wife, Barbara, with her Northeast Georgia Pawn business and his forklift rental business. When his health began to decline, he retired. He was a 32 degree grand mason and a lifetime member of the Shriners of Atlanta.

Charles is survived by his wife, Barbara; their children, Ronnie, Mike, Cindy (Scott) Brown; grandchildren, Heather, Lance, Leann, Logan, Luke, and Marlee; great-grandchildren, Landon, Maddie, Alexis, Madison, Autumn, Erica and Mason; his sister, Virginia Pulliam Bellew.
