He was a member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Forney and volunteered at the Dallas Food Pantry. Charles later settled with the love of his life, Brenda, until his death. He leaves behind to carry on his legacy five daughters, one son, 13 grand-children, three great grand-children, a sister, and a host of nephews, nieces, cousins, relatives, and friends throughout Texas. His parents, a son, and three brothers proceeded Charles in death.

Our family is deeply grateful to everyone who has said a kind word, gave any type of support, the hugs, the check-ups, and mostly the prayers.
