Charles Gilmer Nail, of Chester Tomnolen Road, passed away on November 22, 2025, at the age of 90. He was the son of the late William "Willie" Nail and Eunice Medders Nail of Stewart.

Born in 1935, Charles was a native of Mississippi but spent many of his adult years in the state of Michigan. There, he co-owned a successful tree service. He later returned to Mississippi, where he ran A-1 Tree Service, until his retirement. In his later years, Charles enjoyed hummingbird watching, his dog Sparky, visiting with his family and friends, telling stories about old times, and spending time with his best friend, Robert Montana.

Charles is survived by one son, Kevin N. Mercier, of McComb, Mississippi; three daughters, Marjorie N. Bozeman, of McComb, Mississippi; Rebecca Kent of Clio, Michigan; and Angela Baliko, of Eupora; two sisters, Patricia Tierce of Stewart, Mississippi, and Virginia Mordecai of Eupora; and a host of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Charles was preceded in death by his parents; three brothers, John Nail, William Nail, and James Nail, all from Stewart, Mississippi; and one sister, Faye Chamblee of Houston, Mississippi.

There are wonderful memories of Gilmer. He was part of the group with my two uncles: Rome Nail and Martin Nail.

I can only imagine Uncle Rome and him up yonder sitting around the circle as they always did at the family reunion. Now, of course if they can be teenagers again...lordie mercy. I can only imagine.

Sure will miss you old cousin. I know that in the blinking of an eye, I'll be there too.
