While growing up in Texarkana, Charles was a faithful member of Brightstar Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Leteir Davis.

He then became the Co-Owner of Chicago’s Taste & More Food Truck alongside his beautiful wife. Charles outgoing personality was definitely an asset to the Food Truck. His presence gave everyone a “WOW” experience. He and Terri continued their Love Story as residents of Arlington until his recent passing. It was evident to both family and friends how they treasured their moments together filled with joy and laughter. In his younger years, Charles participated in competition boxing.
