Although it has been 14 years since I last saw Charles, Susan and Ashley, some of my favorite memories are with you all. Charles was my softball coach when I was 12 years old. He was an amazing man and someone I looked up to. I loved playing ball for him and racing go karts in the orange grove. He will truly be missed by so many! Prayers for you all. RIP.

We will love and miss you terribly Charles. I remember the time Ashley pitched to you and hit you square in the forehead. You went all day without it bothering you and when we finally got home and started swimming you passed out and had to be rushed to the hospital. You were an awesome softball coach friend father and all around man. RIP

He leaves a huge hole in his family's life since he was such a forceful presence. Thankfully he was part of a very strong family that will continue to celebrate the life he led while proceeding to reach their own dreams. Uncle Charles was a fighter and so should we all be.
