Charlie worked as hard as he could for as long as he could. He wanted to give his family the world and was devastated when Epilepsy stole more and more from them. Kelly said, "We are so grateful to God for the years He gave us with Charlie. He was strong and brave and encouraging, we will not be the same without him."
Charlie leaves behind his wife of 10 years and 8 year old twin children, Elijah and Tirzah. Charlie spoke often with his children about how the surgery would allow him to once again enjoy life with them. They dreamed together about playing, camping, and living life fully. Unfortunately, he passed before the surgery could happen. His children feel deeply the loss of what 'could have been'. The children are confused about why their Daddy left them.
Those of us who love Kelly and the twins want to ease their transistion to life without their Please help us ensure that they have what they need, now and especially in the future. We ask that you prayerfully consider contributing to a fund to help them.
God bless you and thank you for your prayers and compassion.
