Charles Leslie Shanks

I knew Charlie in 1980 at Morehead State University. I always wondered what happened to him after he moved to Dallas to work at TI. He had such beautiful hair - I'm glad to see he kept it. He was a lot of fun, and I'm sure his family misses him.

Charlie was a wonderful colleague. He was easy-going, always available with a helping hand, and expressed his love for his family every chance he had...traveling for work to installations across the nation, he showed such joy for life and desire to support others. A tragic loss...my prayers for his children in their struggle to find a path through their grief and, in time, towards a life of new memories and peace.

I had the delight of working closely with Charlie since 2005 when he joined the GFEBS Project. Over the past two years, we often traveled together while providing presentations for the Army. I remember Charlie often talking to his daughter on the phone while we were driving and of his son's ebay reselling business. I considered Charlie as a true friend and miss both his friendship and professionalism. His passing is a great loss!

Our prayers are with you as you go through this season in your life. Know that God is sending His choice blessings your way. I was honored to have worked with your Dad. He was a wonderful person to work with. May the Joy of the Lord be your strength.

Our deepest and sincere sympathy goes out to Heather and Brandon. I worked with your father over the past year and a half. The first thing was apparent about your Dad was his kind spirit followed shortly by the pride that he took in the professional way that he did things. We soon grew close and I always looked forwarded to working with him and sharing a good laugh. I will miss my friend and you and your family are in my prayers. Remember, it is written, "Blessed are they that mourn, for they...

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. Charlie was my cousin, and his family and mine were always close growing up. We all spent a lot of time together when we were growing up on Middlefork. My prayers and thoughts are with you, Brandon and Heather. May God Bless and comfort you during the months ahead. I will remember you in my prayers.
