He attended South Georgia College, then earned a B.S. in Biology from Mercer University-Atlanta, as well as a J.D. from the Walter F. George School of Law at Mercer University in Macon. After an early career as a prosecutor and attorney in private practice, starting in 2007, Charles used his counseling skills as a Realtor in Decatur and Atlanta, most recently with Keller Williams Atlanta Midtown.

I am so sorry to hear this, Charles was a nice guy and good friend many years ago in Alma. I practiced law and often saw Charles in Court. He was a well liked and respected attorney but like so many, found law frustrating and unfulfilling, I'm glad he found happiness in other careers. I will remember his big smile and pray his family can find peace during this time.

Liz,
I remember how much Charles added to every meeting and event. He was not the usual kind of person you meet in this neighborhood. He was not artificial about anything. I remember how nice he was to everyone at a clean up one spring. They were all young people and he won them over and they worked hard the whole time. He was telling funny stories and being a regular guy. Although I did not know him well, I feel like I saw an example of a real Christian who was more concerned about other people than he was about himself. The hardship of losing him is no less because of anything we can say, but we do care and pray for you and Cole.

Charles was a bundle of laughter, always! He could bring a smile to anyone's face and the energy immediately went up when he entered any room. I am so lucky I was able to work with you at KW Midtown for many years. You will be remembered as one with the most contagious smile! I will lift your family up in prayer.

I wish I had hugged you a little longer on Monday. I wish I had kissed you one more time before you drove away. I wish you would come walking through the door, but I know that's impossible. I know I can't dial you phone and hear you say, " What's up ?" I know you feel my tears and you don't want me to cry. Yet my heart is broken because two days after I heard you say ,"I love you" you died. I pray GOD will give me the strength to somehow get through this heartache living without you. I was privileged to have you as my big brother. Daddy, Mama, Chuck, Rob and I are so thankful that we left no words unspoken. I will watch over Liz , Cole, Daddy, and Mama. Love, Your Little Sister, Melissa

Good-Bye Brother
Heaven has called upon you today,
leaving so many words left to say.
But now it's too late, for your time has come,
words unspoken; I am sure everybody has some.
Regrets and wishes are probably there too,
but lasting forever are memories of you.
There have been many times that we disagreed,
but we were there for each other in time of need.
Now it's time for me to say Good-Bye,
until we meet again in heaven to fly.
Love Always,
Winston Jordan Bagley
