I met Chaz when I was 8 and he was 9. He had long long hair and was just a wild kid. Which was fun for me, because I was too. Learning about his passing broke my heart. We were very close growing up & I'll cherish our memories forever. I think about him everyday. Prayers to the family.

Suzanne,
Thinking of you! Chaz was such a neat son and you are are a great Mom. I will never forget the day when you picked up that little brown eyed baby and watched you guide him as best any parent could to be a young man. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Gary daily..

I knew Chas as a kid, growing up at the Fair at New Boston. Such a high energy, happy, and polite boy. Even though I haven't seen him in years, I have no doubt he has grown into a wonderful young man. My heart goes out to you Suzanne and your family. The Dye family (Black Horse Tavern) sends our prayers and strength.

Words cannot convey the loss we feel, but our's is but a speck of sand compared to your's. The members of the 6th, and especially his fellow 1st Platoon troopers, were eagerly anticipating Chas riding with us this campaign season. He will be truly missed from our ranks.

I can not begin to imagine the pain and heartache your family is feeling right now. I do however, know that God is the ultimate healer and that He can bring peace and understanding to your family and shelter you in His wings. While your son may be gone physically, he will never really leave you. When you are at your weakest or most lonesome moment, look deep within your heart and there you will find your sweet son, and the joy he brought you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You ALL. A parent in North Carolina.

Dear Suzanne and Gary, I am so very sorry to hear of Charlie's unexpected passing. I am praying that "God's peace that passes understanding will guard your hearts and mind through Jesus Christ." I pray God will somehow use this loss for His glory. That lives would be touched, and turned to Him. So thankful for the memories of fun times of fishing with him. He will never be forgotten. Continued prayers for you during your time of loss.

March 29, 2014

Dearest Suzanne,

For reasons known only to God, you were honored to be a temporary shepherd to an Angel we on earth knew as Chas.

He was your son, a grandson, a friend and a shinning light from above to all that knew him.

On March 26th, 2014 God knew Chas had completed his earthly mission and took him Home as a reward!

He now sits at the feet of the Lord. His beautiful spirit will always watch over and protect you. It is his arms that will welcome you into His glorious Heaven when you arrive.

Until you see your son again, know that God's promise and love will sustain you.

FOREVER IN CHRIST, AMAN.

Chaz was a great kid and was always able to put a smile on my face! He had a great way of being well liked by others and was a very smart young man! Your family is in my thoughts and prayers!

March 27, 2014

I used to go to school with Chaz. I didn't know him too well but from the conversations we did have he would always make me laugh. We could always joke about something so small and meaningless. Just hearing the fact that he's gone is insane. I doubted the story and thought someone was lying. I can't imagine the sorrow you are feeling. I can't even fathom it. I pray for the healing of the open wound inflicted by this loss. You will never forget his charming, blissful spirit. He will always be with you. God bless you both and your family during these difficult times.
