| Coy Walter Plott May 21, 1937 - November 20, 2014 |
Coy Walter Plott, 77, of Charlotte, passed away unexpectedly
on November 20, 2014, as a result of complications from a stroke. He was born May 21, 1937 in Cabarrus County
to the late Gertrude and Hugh Plott.
He graduated from Pfeiffer University in 1959 as a proud member of Pfeiffer’s
first soccer team and was especially proud of having scored the team’s first
goal in school history.
Coy’s hard work and determination led to a 50-year career
in the insurance industry. As an independent agent, he quickly established himself as a
member of the Million Dollar Round Table and received numerous other awards.
More important than the success and awards, Coy was grateful for the countless
number of friendships founded along the way. He never met a stranger and is well
remembered for his quick wit, infectious laugh, and never ending stories. He spent many years of his life serving
others as a loyal member of the Charlotte East Rotary Club. He was proud of
becoming a Paul Harris Fellow. Coy enjoyed many rounds of golf as a member of
Myers Park Country Club for thirty-eight years.
Coy enjoyed a rich and rewarding life, yet nothing
surpassed his love for his family and spending time with them. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and son- in- law. He enjoyed travel,
spending time on the coast, and happy times on the dance floor. He was an
enthusiastic, and sometimes overzealous, fan at his grandchildren’s sporting
events and other activities. He always had his camera in hand to capture his
most special moments. His passion for
sports and children was evident, especially during his Park Sharon and
Southpark Youth League coaching days. Coy will always be remembered for his
friendly demeanor and kind heart.
Married for 47 years, Coy is survived by the love of
his life, Jackie; his three children, Kelly Plott and his wife Shana of
Charlotte, and their children, Patrick, Emma, and Harrison; Missy Kersting and
her husband Jim of Mount Pleasant, SC, and their two children, Jack and Lucy;
and Chad Plott and his wife Debbie of Mount Pleasant, SC, and their daughters, Caroline and Claire; and his beloved mother-in-law, Doris Moore, of Charlotte.
The family is eternally grateful to Dr. Carlene
Kingston and her entire team at Presbyterian Hospital for their outstanding
care and unwavering compassion during this difficult time.
Memorials may be sent to St. Jude’s Hospital, Sharon
Towers Resident’s Assistance Fund, or the Humane Society of Charlotte.
