My family has known Chas since he was a young boy coming to Eastern Market. He worked for us and he was a good employee always polite to everyone. Casey & Tim you both did a good job raising Chas. I never met his wife but I am sure she is a good person if Chas fell in love with her. Rest In Peace Chas.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Tim, Oh my god, what a tragic loss. I know your heart must be broken! I share in your grief and you are in my thoughts!

Sending heartfelt condolences to Chas' beloved wife, Youmi, and to his loving parents, Casey and Tim Gunter, and to his friends dating back to Super Tots, St. Joseph's Catholic Church on Capitol Hill (where Chas was a Shepherd in the children's Nativity scene), Peabody Elementary, Hobson Middle, Duke Ellington School of the Arts, Howard University, and the United States Army. May Chas live on for ever in the hearts of all those who know him and love him. May fond memories help to ease the...

My condolences to his family. I met Chas while attending Howard University. He was a giving person and always wanted to know as much about the trumpet as he could. I remember sitting in Mr. Irby's office with Chas listening to Clifford Brown Live at the Beehive album for hours. REST IN PEACE

My heartfelt condolences to his family! I Served with Chas in 2003 and 2013 always a great guy, player, and friend. Rest in Power Juan

It was truly an honor to serve with Chas. He was fun and funny on an every day basis. He was always that guy who would have a minute to stop and talk even when we were both on the run to a gig or a meeting. I am truly sorry for this loss and I hope his family finds some peace in knowing he was so appreciated.
