Surviving him are his daughter, Holley Davis (Gavin); grandson Rhys McIntyre; sisters, Diana Davis (Ted) and Rae Frances Broughman (John); brother Edwin Davis (Melody); nieces and nephews, Deirdre (Matthew), Tiffany (Tom), Brittany (John), Carrie (Rob), Spencer (Michelle), Jonathan, and Annalise; and grandnephews and nieces Nicholas, Abigail, Dylan, Delaney, Joseph, and Gabriel.

The family would like to thank Christine Fasching for her untiring support and the Rockbridge Area YMCA for serving as a place of community for Charlie.

The family will conduct a private service and celebration of life on Sunday, March 24.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Reynolds Hamrick Funeral Homes of Waynesboro.
