Charles Boyd Gardner, born December 9, 1961, in Guilford County, passed away on November 17, 2025.

Charles was preceded in death by his parents, Alfred and Gladys Gardner. He is survived by his brother, William Gardner, who will forever hold his memory close.

Charles, also known as "CB the only one", lived his life with passion and joy. A devoted NASCAR fan, he especially loved cheering for Chase Elliott. He found peace in the outdoors, spending countless hours hunting and enjoying nature. He shared a special bond with his mother through raising German Shepherds together, a hobby that brought them both great pride and companionship.

Over the years, Charles worked at Old Doc’s on 215 National Highway, where he was known for his strong work ethic and friendly presence. He also had a deep love for motorcycles, good food, and sharp, stylish clothing—interests that highlighted his vibrant personality and zest for life.

Charles will be remembered for his warm spirit, his love of adventure, and the simple pleasures that made his days full. His presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

No Services are scheduled at this time.

Nicholson Cremation and Funeral is honored to serve the Gardner Family.
