Howard "Pete" Walter Mauck

     On Friday, June 23, 2023, Howard “Pete” Walter Mauck, got to go to Heaven. Howard was born April 30, 1941, in Robbinsville, NC, the son of the late Walter Asbury Mauck and Florence Eva Rogers Mauck.

     If you knew him, then you know he was THE greatest. There was always laughter and silliness whenever he was around. He loved Jesus, his family and his garden. He was proud to tell you about all three. The man was a legacy. His original sayings such as “Sorry don’t feed the bulldog” and “I’ll miss you like a migraine headache” will live in infamy. His children and grandchildren all know they are “the best in the west” and that every mischievous idea “sounds like a plan”. The family mourns the loss of his love and light, but we celebrate the honor of having had both in our lives.

     Including his parents, he was preceded in death by his sisters, Hazel Williams, Loretta Moody, and brother Bill Mauck. Those left to cherish and honor his memory include his daughter, Rebecca Adams (Travis) of Taylorsville, NC, son, Travis Walter Mauck (Dusty) of Robbinsville, NC; grandchildren, Sara Jumper, Emily Bradbury, Isaak Mauck, Kaleb Mauck all of Taylorsville, NC, Titus Mauck, Timothy Mauck both of Robbinsville, NC; sisters, Wynona Whiteside, Ellovee Riddle, Kathy Escobedo; and mother of his children and dear friend, Rhonda Cagle.

     Graveside Services will be held at 3:00 pm Saturday, July 1, 2023, at Bear Creek Baptist Church Cemetery. The Reverend Joe Holder will officiate. The family will receive friends from 1:00 till 3:00 pm Saturday at Bear Creek Baptist Church prior to the graveside.
