Charles McAlister Obituary

Jan and I were sorry to hear about Charles' passing. I have great memories of him when he was at Dreher and Wofford.

Dear Coach:
A thank you letter to Coach Mac

Dear Coach,
Thank you for that one last huddle, the chance for your teams to come see you and be together and share our memories of our magical time together in our youth. In the most private and personal of moments, you again showed us what it means to be unselfish and a team player by letting us be with you. I was just one of the many people you touched and I

Sending prayers for healing and peace. So very sorry for your loss! Please know how much I loved chatting on the phone during lunch time with your daddy! May he rest in peace holding hands with your mom Lynn. Love you! Michelle Nikitaides

Thinking you and your family,

Praying for God's comfort in your grief. Charlie was a good friend, a faithful member at Asbury, and I have so many fond memories of building the sanctuary, the beginning of his coaching career at Woodland Park, and his faithful care of Pat during her illness. I am grateful he was a part of my life.

Coach Mac was a wonderful man and terrific coach. It was my privilege to have two children to play for him. He set such a great example for how to live your life. I am thankful for the many good things he did for his teams, his family, friends, church, our city and the world. He will be greatly missed but always remembered. Deep sympathy and much love to his family.

Dear Nidiffer Family,
Very sorry to hear of the loss of such a great man. Know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Coach Mac was one of the single greatest men I have known in my lifetime. What an honor it has been to know and love him. The things he taught me are too many to list but he impacted my life in so many positive ways. I will always miss his giant bear hugs and his laughter. His smile had a glow to it and was contagious even during difficult times. The way that he was able to lift someone's spirit and encourage them was a true art form. I learned so much from Coach and feel truly blessed that his family was willing to share him with all of us throughout the years. Lynn, Lee Anne, Lauren and all of the McAlisters are in my thoughts and prayers. I just know that Coach is up in heaven with Ms. Mac smiling down on all of us. He was truly one of the great ones! God bless!

So sorry to hear of Keith's brother's passing. May the LORD bless the family with peace....

What a giant of a man. He is a legend at Hammond School, and deservedly so. Prayers for you all.

Coach Mac was a big part of many lives and many good works, he will be missed, but not forgotten. Condolences to all his family on this loss. Dale Boozer

Charles McAlister, A MAN'S MAN of Asbury Memorial UMC God Bless.

Charlie was one of the finest men i knew.He did so much for so many and was always willing to help anyone . His smile and laughter would brighten any room . One of the funnest days I ever had was playing golf with Charlie,Van and Porter Kinard at the state Homebuilders convention in Ashville

I am so sorry to read of Coach Mac's passing. "His corner" of the Hammond gym will always serve as a warm reminder of his impact in so many. I was always impressed by his faithful support of both his wife and grandchildren. What a wonderful legacy!

Charles...Coach Mac....was a gentleman with a big heart and a big smile. He was the epitome of a Coach and a natural on the sidelines and in the huddle. First and foremost, he was a Christian family man who loved his family and they loved him back. I will think of all of the McAlister family in the days ahead as you mourn the loss of your loved one. The community mourns with you as we have all lost a man who made the world a better place.
