Interment will be in Woodside Cemetery.

Mr. Adams passed away peacefully on June 19, 2025, in Wills Point, Texas, after a long and courageous battle with Alzheimer’s.

Charlie was born on January 7, 1950, in Wichita Falls, Texas, to Charlie Henry and Sarah Rubye Suiter Adams. He spent his early years in Wichita Falls and graduated from Wichita Falls High School with the Class of 1968. He went on to earn his bachelor’s degree from Midwestern State University.

On July 30, 1983, Charlie married the love of his life, Alice Kindle, in Rockwall, Texas. Together, they shared over four decades of marriage filled with love, devotion, and shared purpose.

Charlie dedicated many years to a successful career in the oil and gas industry before retiring. He lived in the Dallas area for 15 years before settling in Grand Saline, where he and Alice made their home for the past 27 years. A man of faith, Charlie was formerly a member of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Dallas and most recently a devoted member of Main Street Baptist Church in Grand Saline.

Charlie had a heart for children and a special love for dogs. Above all, he cherished spending time with Alice, his beloved wife and constant companion. His kind spirit, warm heart, and unwavering faith left a lasting impact on all who knew him.

After his long struggle with Alzheimer’s, Charlie entered into eternity with his Savior, Jesus Christ.
