Charles served his country with honor and distinction in the United States Army and the National Guard. His service was a testament to his dedication and commitment to his country.

Charles was a member of the Sanctuary of Praise Church in Midland City. He was also an avid outdoorsman, finding joy in deer hunting and fishing. A true Alabamian at heart, he was a passionate fan of Alabama football. His love for flea markets was also well-known, always on the hunt for hidden treasures.

Charles was a man of great character, always putting others before himself. His generosity knew no bounds, and he was always there to lend a helping hand to those in need. He was a loving father, grandfather, brother, and uncle, always putting his family first. His thoughtful nature made him a cherished friend to many, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him.
