    Joseph Augustus Briggs III

    November 15, 1944 - November 27, 2021

    Joseph A. Briggs III, ‘Gus’, of Waxhaw, NC, passed away on November 27, 2021. He was born on November 15, 1944 in Martinsville VA. Gus was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph Augustus Briggs Jr. and Ruth Maynard Briggs; his son-in-law, Kurt Frankel; his brother-in-law, Jim Trino; his niece Leighanne Bixler, and many loved ones. He is survived by his wife, Linda Lacy Briggs; his daughter Stephanie Marion Briggs; his son and namesake Joseph Augustus Briggs IV; his sister, Carolyn Trino, and many special nieces and nephews. Gus was drafted into the US Army in 1968. After honorably serving his country, he went on to earn a BS in Biology from The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. After decades of hard work, Gus decided to make the most of retirement. He genuinely enjoyed his retirement job as a starter & ranger at the local golf course. He was an avid outdoorsman, and after he slowed down as a hunter, he spent his free time playing golf and cards with his friends and family. He will always be remembered for his warm smile, his intellect, and good humor. Service will be held at Heritage Funeral Home-Weddington Chapel, 3700 Forest Lawn Drive, Matthews, NC on Friday, December 3rd, at 4 pm. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the North Carolina Wildlife Federation in Gus’s honor. www.ncwf.org
