Charles was called by many names (Shag, Charlie, Dad, Papaw, Little Fella), but no matter how you knew him, he always greeted you with a smile and a handshake. He never met anyone who wasn’t a potential friend. He was happiest when enjoying home cooked meals, especially biscuits and gravy. He spent every year tending his garden and loved sharing his delicious tomatoes. He had his own way of saying things (we’ve decided to call them ‘Shagisms’) between asking his kids and grandkids about the rat nests on their heads or asking if we were squeaky-clean after a shower. He never quite got Mitsubishi, prostate, or chicken broth down, but we all knew what he was saying. He loved NASCAR and was nice enough to talk about who won, even if you hadn’t watched it yet. He could often be found wandering around the hospital hallways going to comfort friends and family. with Pastor Craig Needham officiating. at the cemetery for the graveside service.

Charles' absence will be greatly felt, and he will be missed by the many people he touched in his life. We would have kept him with us forever, but heaven needed him more.
