John Douglas Pugh, Jr.

John D. Pugh Jr., age 75, of Charlotte, TN, passed away on November 5, 2026, at his home in Dickson, Tennessee.

John was born on January 1, 1951, in Davidson, Tennessee, to the late John Douglas Pugh Sr and Marjorie Ann Pitts. He proudly served his country in the United States Navy from 1969 to 1971, receiving a discharge under honorable conditions. John went on to build a career as a diesel mechanic, working for many years with Yellow Freight.

John was a 32nd degree Mason and took pride in that lifelong brotherhood. He enjoyed fishing, cooking, and listening to music, and he never turned down a good cigar. He had a love for animals and all things outdoors, and he enjoyed talking sports and guns with anyone willing to visit a while. More than anything, John cherished time spent with his grandchildren, always finding a way to teach them something new and share a laugh along the way.

John shared a deep and devoted love with his wife, Patti, often reminding her, "Love Forever Yours, John." He was a man who left a piece of himself in the hearts of all who knew him, and his stories and his warmth will be remembered and retold for years to come. He will be dearly missed by his family and the many lives he touched along the way.

A celebration of life will be held at the Iron Masonic Lodge in Cumberland Furnace, TN on Saturday, November 28, 2026 beginning at 5:00 PM.
