Mr. Charles David Talley

In Loving Memory of Charles David Talley

November 18, 1966 – November 17, 2025

It is with deep sorrow and endless love that we announce the passing of Charles David Talley, who left this world on November 17, 2025, at the age of 58. Though our hearts are heavy, we choose to remember the incredible light he brought into every life he touched.

Anyone who knew Charles knew he was one of a kind. His sense of humor was unforgettable - the kind that could brighten a room, soften a hard day, or make a whole crowd laugh without effort. He had a rare gift for turning ordinary moments into cherished memories, and his quick wit and stories will live on in all who loved him.

Beyond his humor, Charles was a mentor to many. People came to him for guidance, comfort, and honest advice. He gave without expecting anything in return and supported others with a heart full of patience and understanding. His wisdom shaped lives, and his presence made people feel safe, valued, and seen.

He leaves behind a legacy that will continue through the stories we tell, the lessons he shared, and the love he poured into his family and community. His impact is immeasurable - he touched countless lives, and each person who knew him carries a piece of him forward.

Charles is survived by his loving wife Melina Talley; his brother Jimmy Talley; his children Charles Kyle Talley (Ashley), Kara Talley, and Kordell Talley (Presley); his stepdaughter Amanda Pylant (John); and his grandchildren Kailyn Talley, Hudson Talley, Ellie Bordner, Oakleigh Avans, Jonny Pylant, Sophie Pylant, Ellie Pylant, and Iann Meyers, who were all his greatest pride and joy.

He was preceded in death by his father, William D. Talley, and his mother, Doris M. Talley, whom he now rejoins in eternal rest.

Though his time here feels far too short, the mark he made on this world will never fade. We will forever miss his laugh, his guidance, and the warmth he brought into every day. But we are deeply grateful for the love he gave, the joy he brought, and the lasting legacy he leaves behind.

Rest easy, Charles. Your love, laughter, and light live on in all of us.
