William "Nathan" Fussell

William “Nathan” Fussell, 69, of Teachey, North Carolina passed from this life to his eternal rest on Thursday, August 7, 2025, from Novant New Hanover Regional Medical Center.   

He was born on July 25, 1956, in Duplin County; the son of the late William Hubert and Pearlie Inez Pelt Fussell.  He was also preceded in death by his siblings Hubert Earl Fussell, Ella Mae Fussell and Joyce Fussell Teachey.

Mr. Fussell proudly served his country honorably in the United States Army. 

Surviving to cherish his memory is his devoted wife of 13 years Mona “Misty” Evon Harding Fussell of the home; his children Brandy Carrol of Duplin County, Matthew Fussell and wife Bailey of Corpus Christi, Texas and Megan Pearlie Fussell of Willard; seven grandchildren; brother Joe Fussell and wife Hazel of Teachey; sister Deborah Fussell of Hampstead; brother-in-law Joe Teachey of Teachey; step-children Crystal, Karen, Torie and Taylor; numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends that loved Nathan dearly.

Nathan was a simple man who loved his family with all his heart.  He was a hard worker who loved farming, gardening and his red tractor.  With his outgoing personality, Nathan never met a stranger.  He loved people and was loved in return. His favorite pastime was watching westerns, mostly Gunsmoke and fishing when he had the time.  He always had the best pig-picking gatherings ever.  Nathan was a true patriot.  He loved his country and despite its problems, he was very proud to be an American. Nathan will surely be missed but never forgotten.
