Charles Daniel “YOGI” Holcombe, a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, departed this world on April 29, 2024, in Anderson, SC following a courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Greenville on August 26, 1954, he was a son of the late James Franklin and Violet Hiles Holcombe. He was a dedicated employee for many years at Shaw Industries, where he worked as a welder/fabricator and was known for his skill and dedication.
He found joy in the simple pleasures of life, cherishing moments riding his Harley Davidson Motorcycle and spending time with family and friends. His vivacious spirit and love for adventure made him the life of the party wherever he went.
Yogi was a member of the Six Mile Masonic Lodge, # 339 AFM.
He is survived by his loving wife, Nancy Holcombe, his daughter Lyndsay Earnhardt (Jeremy), his son Lucas Holcombe (Apryl), as well as his siblings Frankie Chaney, Lynda Brock, and Ed Holcombe. Also surviving are his two grandchildren who he adored, Bailee and Abby.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two sisters, Joyce Bowen and Vivian Esuary.
Memorial services to celebrate Yogi’s life will be held 1:00 PM Friday, May 3, 2024 in the Liberty Mortuary Chapel. The family will receive friends Thursday evening from 5:30 until 7:00 PM at the mortuary.
In remembrance of his vibrant spirit and love for life, let us come together to celebrate the legacy of a man who brought laughter and light to all those around him. Your presence at the services will be a testament to the impact Yogi had on those who knew him.
In lieu of flowers the family requests memorials be made to Hospice of the Upstate, 1835 Rogers Road, Anderson SC 29621.

I am so sorry to hear that Yogi has passed away. I have known him ever since I can remember. We grew up together at Calumet church playing baseball and basketball with the RA's. Then playing sports in the rec leagues and right on up through high school. Then we worked together for another 40 years at the BASF plant.
I've never seen a more determined athlete than Yogi. He wasn't a big guy back in high school. But when he hit you, you knew for sure that you had been hit.
Yogi was one of a kind and everybody liked him. He will be missed by all who knew him. So sorry he's gone.

Lucas and family, I am so very sorry to hear this! Yogi always mentioned my dad to me and told me what a fine man he was. That always meant a lot to me (they knew each other from work). Your dad was a good man and always smiling. He make others around him smile. I know you will miss him terribly. Praying for you and your family.

I wish to offer my sincere condolences to Yogi's family and friends. He was one of a kind; hardworking and kind. I have relied on him in the past for home repairs and he was a professional with his work speaking for him. I will miss him and his fun spirit and sense of humor.
