Charlie loved life and was always helping others. He was a Super Hero. His ultimate goal was to reach 200 gallons of blood donations, but due to his death, he was only able to reach 181 gallons, which saved countless lives. He loved to work, put puzzles together, and mow the lawn. He was an avid collector of Hot Wheels and was also a die hard Gator fan. He touched so many people because he was a likable jokester and always smiling!  

In honor of Charlie’s life long commitment to donating blood, the family asks if you are able to donate, please go to a One Blood Donation center and donate in his honor.

A Funeral has been scheduled for 10 a.m. with visitation for one hour prior , Friday September 8, 2023, at Berean Baptist Church, 4800 SW 20th St, Ocala, Florida 34474
