Support Cathy After Charlie's Passing

Charlie Lively passed away unexpectedly this past week, leaving his wife of 34 years, Cathy, to struggle with an unfortunate amount of medical bills. Due to no longer being able to afford the expenses of their current residence, she is having to pack up and move soon after his funeral.

The family hopes to raise enough money to also purchase a headstone, and anything beyond will be used towards security for Cathy after his passing.

Charlie was a highly creative and talented individual who devoted his life to the art of tattooing. In 1991, he opened the first tattoo shop in Fort Smith, Arkansas, making it the third tattoo establishment in the state at the time.

His passion for tattoo artistry, especially black and grey work, was evident throughout his career. When he wasn’t working, he could often be found drawing or relaxing in his mancave, enjoying a good TV show.

Known for his unique sense of humor, Charlie had a reputation as a character who loved to joke in his own special way. While he may have appeared tough on the outside, his heart was soft, particularly when it came to animals.

Over the years, Charlie rescued countless stray cats, dogs, birds, and even a raccoon, offering them a loving home. His deep affection for animals was a defining part of who he was.

Above all, Charlie will be remembered as a man who spoke his mind, as well as a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. His legacy will live on through the love and laughter he shared with his family and friends - as well as through all of his beloved art.
