Charles lived a life rich with adventure and purpose, dedicating himself to farming and spending countless hours in the great outdoors. An avid hunter and fisherman, he found joy in nature, often sharing those experiences with his children, grandchildren, and nephews. His love for hunting and fishing was complemented by his green thumb, as he nurtured his garden with care, sharing the fruits of his labor with family and friends. Those who knew him will fondly remember the bountiful harvests he brought to family gatherings, filling tables with fresh produce and love.
 
Charles was not only a devoted grandfather, passionate outdoorsman, and gardener but also a faithful servant of God. His deep love for the Lord guided his life and actions, and he was honored to be ordained as a deacon in the Freewill Baptist Association and served the Clifton and Faith Chapel churches in this capacity. He lived his faith through kindness, generosity, and service to others, instilling strong values in his family and community. In his later years, he found joy in the laughter of his grandchildren, and the 2022 arrival of great-grandson Lyle brought him immense happiness. The anticipation of welcoming another great-grandson, Case, named in his honor, filled his heart with pride. His legacy will continue to thrive through the love and memories shared by his family.
 
Charles leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and memories that will forever be etched in the hearts of his family. He will be deeply missed but fondly remembered for his adventurous spirit, dedication to his family, and the lessons he imparted to each generation.
