HEINZ, Charles Charles Henry Heinz of Atlanta, Georgia, passed away on March 3, 2020, following a courageous, two-year-long battle with cancer.

His wife Patti and he met in their high school years at Trinity Presbyterian Church, Atlanta, where he later served as an elder. Their marriage of 40 years was blessed with the joy of two wonderful daughters and sons-in-law, numerous golden retrievers, a deep connection to their church and friends, and travel. Charles worked in the financial planning and insurance industry for more than 42 years, and had the privilege of working with his father, and later, his oldest daughter, in the firm he ultimately led as president, Heinz-Daniel & Associates. He was a member of the Vinings Cumberland Rotary Club, Race Director of the Vinings Downhill 5k, President of Life Leaders of Georgia, past Director of the Atlanta Estate Planning Council, and past Director of the Atlanta Association of Financial Planners.
