Preceding him in death is his grandfather Alton "Papa" Padgett; Grandmother Ella Fletcher, Richmond, KY.
Charlie was a loving and caring person who touched the lives of all who knew him and who heard his music. Nothing gave him more joy than spending time playing his guitar(s) with family and friends. His presence will be greatly missed but his memory will live on with us all. Charlie was of Baptist faith, member of Port Royal Baptist Church, Port Royal, SC.
Charlie proved his strength and determination throughout his life. He was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes as a very young adult (13 years ago) but the diagnosis didn't stop him from enjoying life or his family as he was a fighter until the very end. Charlie left this world and family lovingly by his side.
