Charles "Charlie" Royce Jr.

Everything I know about Jazz I learned from Charlie.

I miss my friend so very much. I call on his spirit and all we shared together and all he taught me and all the ways he changed the arc of my life nearly every day.

Ria, I´m so sorry to read of the passing of your brother Charlie! Know that I´ll be praying for you! Hugs! My deepest sympathies, Julie (Coleman) Boelens

We just found out about Charlies passing to heaven today. We are deeply saddened that we lost this dear angel on earth and life-long friend. Jo Beth Clement- Reilly and Mike Reilly TQ Carts - Texas

I have so many memories of Charlie, his love of his family and of music. Sending my deepest sympathy.

Re: Memorial for Charlie Royce My family would like to make a memorial contribution to the WCU Mountain Rescue Team Fund but cannot find an address for that organization. Would you kindly provide that information to me? Gratefully, John H. Beernink, MD [email protected]

A organization that cared for vulnerable children in Zambia brought Angie and Charlie into our lives. Right away we saw Charlie's heart. But then to learn of his gifts and talents was something else. One evening we spent with Angie and Charlie we got him talking about Jazz, boy what a love and knowledge he had for that genre! His passion changed how we listened to jazz forever. That is only one of our memories of Charlie, and Charlie and Angie together. May you Rest In Peace, Charlie,...

Oh! My heart goes out to you all...I knew Charlie only as 'Ria's little brother' at Interlochen, but he was always such a light. Smiling, playful, kind and talented. What a loss for family, friends, and community this must be. But surely there is so much good to remember about his life while he was here! Blessings and love, especially to his wife and to Ria, in this tender phase of feeling the loss of his smile and laugh.
