Charles's faith and family were the center of his life. He worked many years as an electrician and found joy in using his skills to help others. He loved country dancing and even taught dance classes, sharing his passion with friends and neighbors. Charles could often be found in his shop or on his John Deere tractor, working on woodworking or DIY projects. He was always ready to lend a hand, whether it was a yard project or a community need. He deeply enjoyed the outdoors and time spent with his neighbors, whether gathered for a cookout or working together on a project.

Charles faithfully served his church in many ways, always willing to do whatever was needed. He will be remembered as a hardworking, kind, and dependable man - a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend.
