I am not physically in Columbus this Saturday, but I am in spirit. I will cherish in memory how I last saw you, here in California last April/2015, you had a ball, experiences the Cali coast! I loved standing next to you because you were a giant, but I still called you Lil' Charles,(smile)love you. Your mom would've been proud at the young man you'd become. RIH - Aunt Bev

RIH Charles! Charles was a funny and cool guy. I extend my most sincere condolences to the family and all my EA family. May you take comfort in knowing that you have an angel to watch over you now.Be blessed !

Rest in Peace Charles Jr. It saddens me that you are no longer here, but you are in God's hands now and under His care.  You watched over your father here on earth, now you will be watching over your mother in Heaven.  Praying for the James family, other family members and friends near and dear to his heart, that they will be comforted during this difficult time.

I remember you from Columbus Bulldogs we all use to. play and hang out like family , you were a great person with a great heart may God bless your family in this time !!! Rest up Charles

God puts people in our lives for a reason and you were put in the lives of everyone that knows you to provide that smile and sense of humor you are known for. I cannot imagine the hurt you family feels. I know that a great man made his journey to be with our King. May your family take comfort in these words: But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself. Philippians 3:20-21
You are with God know and although we miss you we know you are there flashing the awesome smile and making everyone laugh. Rest in peace Chuck!#cowboynationforever

Well Pam here comes your baby boy..          I think of you often ...

Charles you were a great guy! I pray that everyone you touched will get the support they need to get through this difficult time.

Charles will be sorely missed. May the God of peace console you in your loss.

I still can't believe that I won't see you standing over everybody next time I go out to have fun! You will be missed and Prayers and Love from my Family to Yours.

I extend my sincere condolences to the family. May God comfort you all during this time and days to come.
