Charles Henry Luckert III

June 18, 1956 – May 7, 2024

Our organization and community lost a good friend and faithful citizen on May 7, 2024. Although he was born in Midland, Charles arrived in Grand Prairie at the age of two. He was a proud 1974 SGPHS graduate. Throughout his life he em-braced his hometown. Especially after retiring from his 30-year career at the Dallas Morning News, Charles selflessly devoting time to local charities, the Chamber of Commerce and GPHO. He continued to cover everything going on in Grand Prairie (as a volunteer) as editor and photographer of his “Grand Prairie at a Glance” Facebook pages (News, Obituary, Events, Restaurants & Retail, Nonprofits, & Schools). He was recognized as Volunteer of the Year in 2021 and Citizen of the Year in 2023. He is survived by a son (Charles (Chuck) Henry Luckert IV), three sisters, five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. His kindness, generosity and unwavering commitment to making our community (and the world) a better place will be sorely missed.
