Michelle- I was a roommate and friend of Earls at IBC, and we all were together in Orlando in 2003. I saw your picture on Strava and decided to lookup. I am very sad to see of Earls passing. He was a good friend, and came home with me on one of our college breaks. Please accept my condolences and feel free to reach out if you want.

Michelle, I just learned of Earl's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. Earl was such a tremendously nice person. So easy going and as well as easy to talk to. I was always thankful for all the times he so willingly helped with our track meets. God picked up an amazing angel.

Amazing teacher and even better human being. Mr. Charles was my Highschool math teacher at South Mountain in 1992. He tutored me everyday during his lunch time. I will forever be be greatful for his kindness. He made me feel like I could accomplish anything with hard work and dedication. Mr. Charles will always be special to me. I will miss him dearly.

To the Charles Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

It is an honor to have known Earl and to have been his Phoenix Swim Club teammate. We have many good memories of fun times with Earl and Michelle at swim meets, cheering one another on! Earl will be remembered as such a wonderful, kind, warm friendly person. Earl and Michelle, you are both in our hearts and our prayers.
