Paul David "P.D." Justice

Paul David “P.D.” Justice, 79, of Siler City, died Friday, March 28th, 2025, at his home surrounded by his loving family. P.D. was born in Randolph County on November 19th, 1945, to the late Everett B. and Nellie Dixon Justice. In addition to his parents, P.D. was preceded in death by his brother, Michael D. Justice.

After graduating from Jordan-Matthews High School in 1964, he joined the Air Force and served in Holland fueling airplanes. Soon after his return he moved to Greensboro where he roomed with the Teague boys and took up the game of golf, his lifelong favorite pastime.

He was introduced to his future wife, Vicky Pritchard, by her brother Guy Pritchard and his wife Linda. Within a year, they were married. Then followed the births of their children, Brian and Janna.

His career began in Greensboro as an accountant at Piedmont Outdoor Advertising and continued in Siler City as the manager of Justice Trailer Park. During this time he was a member of the Moose Lodge in Siler City, the Siler City Country Club and a current member of Oakley Baptist Church. There he served for years as a Sunday School teacher, deacon, finance committee member, and on pastor search committees. He dearly loved the Lord and his church family.

Ever the sharp wit, he has kept friends and family laughing at game nights and dinner parties. He particularly loved Pictionary, Fictionary, Password, and Name That Tune, though he could not carry one. Other interests included bowling, arrowhead hunting, volleyball, Duke basketball, and playing rook and Pinochle.

When he became a PaPa, he truly enjoyed his granddaughters Reece Cobia and Emma Justice. Holidays and special occasions were much more delightful with them and beloved daughter-in-law Karen Hargrove Justice.

He and Vicky enjoyed 52 years of marriage and celebrated by placing 50 yellow-gold roses in the church on their 50th Wedding Anniversary.

A truly humble man, P.D. was a man of faith, integrity, wisdom, generosity, and kindness. He was easy to talk to, easy to love, and hard to say goodbye to.

We will celebrate his life with a visitation on Tuesday, April 1st, 2025, from 1:30-3:00 PM at Oakley Baptist Church. The funeral service will follow at 3:00 PM with Dr. Jeff Johnson and Rev. Tim Howell officiating. Burial will be in the church cemetery.

The family requests memorials be made to the American Cancer Society.

Smith and Buckner Funeral Home is serving the Justice family.
