Charlie attended Edinburg Schools from 1st to 12th grades (with a detour to South Fork Schools his freshman and sophomore years). He received his diploma from Lawrence Education Center in 2010. A natural athlete (with his third word being ball) he enjoyed soccer (outdoor and indoor) and basketball at which he excelled. He worked in various construction areas including roofing, plumbing, concrete, and tree-trimming and was a very hard worker. In addition to basketball, he enjoyed fishing, camping, playing Frisbee, cards and board games. He loved spending time with family and friends and making people laugh and have fun. Charlie was also an avid animal lover, who didn't meet a dog or cat he didn't try to take home, succeeding with many. Although he experienced more than a fair share of great losses, pain, grief and disappointments in his short life, he maintained a loving heart and a kind giving nature. He would help others in any way he could, usually with his beautiful smile and handsome face. He was talented, smart, quick witted, funny and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
