Thomas Grady Haddock Obituary, Blackshear – Over the course of the afternoon on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, Mr. Thomas Grady Haddock, who was 76 years old and from Blackshear, passed away at Memorial Satilla Health in Waycross. Prior to his relocation to Pierce County in 1996, he had been a resident of Darien. He was born in Ellerbe, North Carolina, on February 5, 1948. After completing his four years of service in the United States Navy, Mr. Haddock went on to work for Lockheed Martin and then went on to live and work in Vietnam as a civilian. He would later reenlist in the Navy and continue his service for a number of more years. Mr.
Haddock began his career in the trucking industry by starting out with Anderson Trucking and then moving on to Boatright Trucking, where he is still employed at the present time. He had a deep affection for his coworkers and considered it a privilege to have been employed by them. In addition to being a loving grandfather to each and every one of his grandchildren, Mr. Haddock took great pleasure in spending time with them. In his spare time, he enjoyed taking his family to the mountains to go fishing and camping. This was one of his favorite activities.
