He is preceded in death by his parents and wife. He was the last of a family of six brothers, Sidney, Raymond, Oscar, Danny, and Alvin. He is survived by nieces and nephews who have celebrated his many birthdays. Charlie was a man of the earth; he never had anger or a hurtful word about anyone. He was kind and generous, and would give you anything he had without question. He had a real green thumb, anything he planted in his yard grew, and it was amazing. His passion for hunting and fishing never ceased in all his years. He was always ready to go. Everyone who knew Charlie will remember him as a kind gentle person. Charlie was a farmer, truck driver, and carpenter, and helped build a number of buildings in Beeville and at the Bee County College. He will be missed by all who knew him with love and good thoughts of a gentle man.
