It is with a very heavy heart that we say goodbye to Charles.

Charles was a great friend, a loving brother, a wonderful husband, a great dad and an endearing son. He passed away peacefully after a long period of illness. Throughout this period, he continued to be as positive, cheerful and kind like we all knew him, because he wanted to be remembered this way. And as we continue to mourn his passing, we kindly request for the privacy he kept of this to be respected and his name honoured.

As a family, we receive questions daily from friends and well-wishers asking how they can support during this difficult time as we prepare for his funeral, and we appreciate the thoughts.

We hope this provides an avenue for those who wish to help.

Thank you for your support and we ask that you continue to put the family in your thoughts and prayers.
