Steve and I were so sorry to hear this news but rejoice that Charles is with the Lord. We hear that he really loved the Lord and had a heart for worship. Although we live out of town, we are never that far from the Wright family and Evangel who are in our hearts always. May the Lord give you strength and peace in the upcoming days. Love you all.

Charlie was an amazing man of God. He was inspirational in the way he would lead worship and his passion for the Lord was evident in the way he lived his life. I enjoyed the conversations I would have with him at school and will miss him greatly in the upcoming year. My love and prayers are with you.

Charlie was a wonderful young man. I remember his willingness always to be helpful. He never had to be in the spot light. He was a servant. I am praying for all of you. Brenda Frankie

I met Charlie my freshman year of college. He was very funny and loved (a love that continued) the Lord. He will be missed.
