One of the sweetest memories I have of Charles is the time we had the Jones Family Reunion in Los Angeles. His family hosted one of the functions which was held at his home. I recall walking in with my family along with our newest member - our daughter Ea. Typically, she he would not go to anyone but for some reason she was immediately drawn to Charles. He held out his arms to her and she easily and comfortably went into them. I think all of us were a bit surprised ,yet happy. He walked around with her for quite a while and needless to say our aching arms appreciated it! I love and miss you Charles. Continue Resting Peacefully . (There´s a photo of them together. If I find it, I´ll post it)

Hi Dad,
I’ve been missing you a lot these last few days. I am preparing for my senior year of college and Victoria is in her final year of law school at your alma mater. She is following in you and mom’s footsteps and I know you would be proud of her. It gets harder and harder to remember you which makes me sad. But I never forget how much you meant to me and the special place you have in my heart. I am filled with pride when I hear stories about how great of a man you were and the positive impact on the lives of others. Everyone says I look like you which I take as a complement. I will continue to make you proud. I wish you were here. Love you Daddy.
Love,
Sydney

Charles, I try not to think about this day, but was reminded anyway. I know you are watching your little girls and what spectacularly young ladies they have become. Victoria will graduate from Spelman this year and just today we drove to Boston to get Sydney ready for the beginning of her college career at Boston University. Wish you were here...
August 26, 2017
Hi, Charles,
Wow! 17 years today. Time really has flown. Sydney starting college and Victoria will finish college this term. You must certainly be smiling at their accomplishments. The rest of the family is doing well...missing you, of course. Take care and hugs to the others with you! As always, Mom
October 31, 2016
Hi, Charles,
Hmmm, tomorrow would have been your 54th birththday!!
I'm smiling... 1954 was when I met your Dad!
Thinking of him this day and how proud of you he was.
I think of you often as I receive text, emails, news and photos of Victoria and Sydney. As Wayne said earlier...how proud YOU would be of your offspring.
As always,
Mom
August 26, 2016
Hard to believe it's been 12 years since you passed away. Your daughter are doing you proud. Victoria is a junior at Spelman and Sydney is a senior in high school. They would bring a smile to your face.
You're missed every day.
Your big brother - Wayne Jr.

Charles,
Remembering you, son, 11 years later, knowing that all is well in your world. You have left a marvelous legacy and fond memories.
Victoria and Sydney ...you would be so proud of them.

I am shocked and saddened to learn that Charles is gone. I attended L.A. High school with him. He was very intellegent and always kind when I visited his home with my friend who had a crush on him. I am also sad to hear about Iyisa. I had always wondered what became of Charles. It seems he was quite accomplished, and I am not surprised. Rest in Peace.
November 1, 2014
Hi, Charles: Remembering you on the 52nd anniversary of your birth. These ten years seem to have flown by, but I remember you as though yesterday. I smile knowing that all is well with you and Dad. Over.
August 26, 2014
Charles, These ten years have passed quickly. I think of you often. I just found a picture of your headstone on Google a few days ago. Hmmm, I smiling, you would not know what Google is. Anyway, just stopped by to say again how proud I am of you!! Mom

Charles, I just wanted you to know that the girls are doing well--I know that you are looking down so proud that Victoria has chosen to attend Spelman being the proud Morehouse man that you were. She is adjusting well, made the Morehouse cheerleading squad and is settling in nicely. Sydney is quite busy--she is adjusting to her sophomore year at school and plays both varsity volleyball and club soccer this fall--she is captain of the club team. They are all that you wanted them to be--smart, independant, loving, and strong. They miss you. R.I.P.

Hi, Charles, you were on my mind a lot this week. I meant to come here and tell you yesterday on your transitional anniversary. We are well here. Zoe started college in VA last week. Zoe think you would be proud of her. I trust you and Bijan have hooked up by now. Oh, and say "hi" to Uncle Ben for me. Take care. Much love, Mom

Love, Wayne Jr.

Good morning, Charles. It was a morning like this 49 years ago. In about 4 hours you will make your first appearance! I think about you often. I thought you would also like me to wish Leslie a Happy Birthday, too. So off I go to do that. Hi to Iyisa, your grandparents and the rest of the family!
As always,
Mom
October 4, 2011
Hi, Charles,
Today would have been Iyisa's 41st birthday. I'll be back next month to commemorate your 49th. I know all is well with you.

Top of the day to you, Charles, on this, the start of the 48th year of my memories of you. You are always in my heart.
More family joined you this year... Iyisa and Dante. Kyra and Joannie plan to visit your resting place later today.
I spent much time thinking of your Dad yesterday...his third year away from us. And that's alright. I will see all of you, I know, "in that great gettin' up morning"!
Remembering what the Morehouse Men sang at your graduation ceremony...
Fare ye well, my son, fare ye well.
As always,
Mom

Happy Birthday Charles! I just finished writing a letter to your eldest. I'll write another letter to your youngest after I send this note.
I miss you very much Charles. I think about you and Iyisa often. You both left us too soon.
Victoria and Sydney are both beautiful and intelligent young girls. They are doing well in school and they both keep in touch with their cousins. You should be proud of them both.
Anyhow, please know that you are missed and loved. Keep smiling down on us from your place in heaven...

Charles,
Today is the 46th anniversary of God gifting your Dad and I with you, our second beautiful, healthy baby boy.
Yesterday was a year since Dad joined you in eternity.
I thank God for the goodness that He gave me from both of you and continues to give through the legacies of your lives here among the living!
This looks to be a historic time in the next three days. Though I would 'wish' for you both yo be here to witness November 4th, I know you have been given much better "seats"! I'll be listening for your shouts!

My Dearest Charles,
I can't believe it has been a year since you decided to leave us. My heart continues to break, but with God's Grace we are surviving.
The girls are doing well. They did well in school last year. Sydney, in spite of everything, still managed to be the only one in her class to make the Principal's List. They traveled to Bermuda for Gwen's wedding and spent the summer hanging out with friends next door, with Grandma and at the beach. School started a couple of weeks ago and so far so good. They miss you greatly and just hope that you are OK now.
I pray that you have found the peace that you were seeking.
My love always,
Javoyne

Sharing this tribute to Charles...
AILEY, BALDWIN, FLOYD, KILLENS, and MAYFIELD
by Maya Angelou
When great trees fall,
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety.
When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear.
When great souls die,
the air around us becomes
light, rare, sterile.
We breathe, briefly.
Our eyes, briefly,
see with
a hurtful clarity.
Our memory, suddenly sharpened,
examines,
gnaws on kind words
unsaid,
promised walks
never taken.
Great souls die and
our reality, bound to
them, takes leave of us.
Our souls,
dependent upon their
nurture,
now shrink, wizened.
Our minds, formed
and informed by their
radiance,
fall away.
We are not so much maddened
as reduced to the unutterable ignorance
of dark, cold
caves.
And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.
Sylvester Holmes

Truly I am shocked and saddened at the news of Brother Hicks' death. I had the pleasure of first meeting Charles more than 10 years ago at a Staff Judge Advocate course at the Naval Justice School. We were both still on active duty as Naval JAG officers at the time. Years after separating from the Navy, I had the good fortune of running into Charles in downtown Atlanta and we maintained contact. Charles was a strong, dedicated and intelligent man. He will be sorely missed. May your faith in God comfort you and bring you peace.
