Charles Tyson Youmans, 44, died on October 8, 2025 surrounded by his loving wife, family and dear friends. Charlie passed as he lived - with the utmost internal fortitude, dignity and grace.
Charlie was born on August 18, 1981 to Reemer Ebb Youmans, Jr. and Claire Klug Youmans in Savannah, Georgia. He attended St. James Catholic School ('96) and Benedictine Military School ('00). Following his graduation from Benedictine, Charlie attended the University of Alabama and joined Kapp Alpha Order, where his real adventures began. After obtaining a bachelor's degree in business management, Charlie began his career at SSA Marine.
To know Charlie was to love him. Charlie was as talkative as he was quiet. While many would accurately describe Charlie as a man of few words, others knew the Charlie that would talk for hours on end about trail cameras, camo patterns, dogs, deer stands, duck calls, tires, coolers, bows, arrows, hats and Alabama football. Charlie was the kind of person everyone enjoyed being around. He was a great guy with a huge heart, a steady sense of humor and a positive attitude that never wavered. Loyal and genuine, Charlie was the friend you could count on for anything, any time. His happiest moments were found outdoors chasing whatever was in season and soaking up the simple pleasures that came with it. A true gear nut, Charlie always knew about the latest release or next big trend before anyone else and he loved sharing that excitement with others. His enthusiasm was contagious; his presence uplifting; and, his absence will be deeply felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Charlie was preceded in death by his mother, Claire Klug Youmans; an infant older brother; his paternal grandparents, Reemer Ebb and Mary Gill Youmans; his maternal grandparents, C. Frederick and Ida Tyson Klug; and his uncle and namesake, Charles Tyson.
Charlie is survived by his ever courageous and wholly devoted wife Ali Bunn Youmans; soon to be here, baby girl Youmans; his father, Reemer Ebb Youmans Jr.; close family friend, Ann Bond; his brother, Reemer Ebb Youmans III (Connell); his in-laws,Gregg and Kim Bunn; sister-in-law, Amy Bunn Haynes (Robert); sister-in- law, Emily Anne Bunn Ansley (Jordan); eight nieces and nephews, countless friends who are the equivalent of family, and last but not least, his best friend Dotty.
