Charles gave his life to Christ at an early age. He was baptized at Third Baptist Church in Xenia, Ohio. Four years ago, he became actively involved with his family Bible Study and a prayer line was started by his cousin, Mrs. Eleanore Rhoden of Midloathian, Virginia. He looked forward to sharing the Word of God with his family and friends. Chucky, as he was fondly called, encouraged others to join the family Bible Study and prayer line on Wednesday and Thursday at 8:20pm.

After his honorable discharge from the Air Force, he worked at The Elliot Company until they closed. Then he pursued a career at Elano Corporation and Antioch Publishing Company.

Chucky especially enjoyed video chatting with his Goddaughter, Kymberli Browder and her family of Houston, Texas. It was a joy for him to spend time with Josephine's grandchildren.
