My thoughts are with your family during this time-much love and peace.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Sending prayers and love .

I will always remember Charles as a true servant of God.

The best man I have ever known! Will never be another.

Yes the obit is right on all comments. You were a lucky person if you had Charley Boy had a friend. Fix anything and willing to at any day or time. Played many rounds of golf with him and others and played tons of softball games with and on his team. His family and church was his life and in the last couple of years seeing him and sometimes Ms. Vivian at Whataburger getting their special hamburger was always a special gift. Never had a bad time with him and enjoyed a million laughs while double teaming out friends with our picking powers. You have not had a bad life if you had the good luck to have had Charles Shirley in it. God bless the Shirley family and and God blessed me with their friendship. Ronnie Miller

To Charles´ Family. I´ll never forget my sweet cousin who was raised by one of the greatest women I´ve known in my life. My Aunt Cecil raised her children with every ounce of love she had. She gave them the best of life that she had to give on her own without the help of their dad. Hod bless Vivian and her children who will always miss their dad. Prayers and love to them all.

I just found out about Mr. Shirley´s passing. He was a great man and it was an honor to have worked with him at Fitzgerald´s years ago. His memory will live on with the ones that knew him.

Long time friends with Charles and Vivian. Great christians.

Your parents were very good to me when I was young. With my chaotic home life, they welcomed me into their home often. Your father taught me life lessons about education, money, and growing up. I still remember sitting at the kitchen table while he explained finances and the importance of a college education. He was a great man and father. You were very lucky to have him.

Papaw taught me how to play checkers and chess. He let me win a few then taught me how to accept defeat. Being his granddaughter, I was at their house often as a child and I don´t have 1 bad memory of him from my whole life. He was easy going, quiet, considerate. Sharp as a tack, but never mean. Always there, but never the center of attention. I understood that he was wise and kind without ever actually thinking about it. I wish I HAD thought about it and appreciated my time with him more. Rest in peace, Papaw. Thank you for being a model among men, and for teaching me to play chess.
