Charles Flaughn Lamb

Surrounded by love, Charles Flaughn Lamb, 88, peacefully passed away on March 6th 2026. Flaughn was born on July 12, 1937, in Henderson County to the late Ray and Laberta Lamb.

He was the proud owner of Orchard Trace Golf Club, where he poured his heart into his work every day. With an unmatched work ethic and unwavering dedication, he built more than just a golf course… he built a place where friends gathered and memories were made. Those who knew him often said he was one of the hardest working men they had ever met, a man who gave his all to the things and people he loved. 

He will always be remembered for his bright blue eyes, generous spirit, his warm sense of humor and his genuine love for both people and animals.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his three brothers, Ronald, Leon and Lynn Lamb.

He is survived by his wife Debbie of 46 years, his children, Blair, Todd, Chris, Greg and Kristey. His sister Shirley Nicholson, six grandchildren, three great-grandchildren as well as many nieces, nephews and special friends.

There will be a Celebration of Life at a later date. Those wishing to honor his memory may do so with a donation to the Blue Ridge Humane Society. Be kind to others and in his words, “KEEP MOVING”.

The family is especially thankful to Dr. Jim Caserio who was his physician for more than 40 years and a cherished family friend. We are forever grateful for his kindness, compassion and support.
