Millard Junior Huneycutt, 83, of Charlotte passed away Tuesday, April 21, 2015, at his home.
Junior was born June 20, 1931 in Stanly County, NC. He was the son of the late Millard Pines and Janie Luther Huneycutt. He retired after 35 years from the General Motors Truck & Coach Division in Charlotte. In his retirement, he worked for the Town of Matthews, and later for the Matthew's Exxon.
He will be remembered as a devoted fan of John Wayne, REGULAR Coca-Cola, and NASCAR. Over the years, he collected thousands of baseball hats from around the world & displayed them proudly in his home.
Junior was preceded in death by his wife, Rose Simril Huneycutt, his daughter, Joyce Ann Huneycutt, and his brother, Clad Huneycutt. He is survived by his daughters, Patty Wise (David), Donna Bass (Mike), and Kathy Brewer, 6 grandchildren: Melanie Wynter (Brian), Scott Honeycutt (Salome), Jaime Bryan (Mark), Justin Torrence (Ann), Michelle Brown (Heath), and Nikki Honeycutt (Brian). Junior was also blessed with 10 great-grandchildren. In addition, Junior is survived by his sister Louise Almond, and sister-in-law, Betty Huneycutt. He was affectionately referred to as "Paw", or "Papa Junior" by his beloved grandchildren & great-grandchildren. He leaves behind his faithful K-9 companion, Suzy Q.
The family would like to say a VERY special thank you to Kenny Givens, for being a loving caregiver & friend. We will be forever grateful!
A memorial service will be held at four o'clock in the afternoon on Friday, the 24th of April, at McEwen Funeral Service-Mint Hill Chapel with visitation held one hour prior to the service.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Special Olympics.

From a plaque he had hanging in his home:
Grandfathers
Grandfathers live on a special plane
And they are kings in their own domain
They have earned through the years the vested right
To spoil each grandchild that comes in sight
They can overindulge and pamper them too
And when their busy days are through
They can send them home to Mother and Dad
And reflect on the wonderful times they've had.

He was a 33rd Degree Mason -
What is a Mason?
A Mason is a man and a "Brother" who is "square" in all that he "Compasses": He has a "Rite" Understanding and a Firm "GRIP" therefore he has no complaints to "Lodge" against life by being a loyal "Apprentice" to duty. He becomes "Master" of himself and others; and thus whatever his "Degree" he fulfills an honorable career from his first "Initiation" in the "Order" of humanity until he receives the final "Password".
