HE was a close friend and a god fearing person and a excellent co-worker at coach U S A.  May he rest in peace.       ARTHUR  Arrington.

What do you say when a cousin you've just met will no longer be there to hang with, laugh with and just be around. My brother and I met Benny, his wife Alma, and his siblings at the multi-name family reunion in 2019. He was so much fun to be around as well as accepting of people he didn't know about. I was so looking forward to our next in-person family reunion because I know that he would brighten every thing up! I was crushed when I heard the terrible news and it still bothers me today. My prayers go up because I know that he is being well cared for.  My brother and I send our condolences to his wife and siblings. With much love, Sheila Johnson-Jeans and Kenneth Johnson

Our thoughts and prayers are with our dear cousins and family of our dearly departed Benny Ray Charles, Sr.

One of the greatest blessings we shared at our "2019 Coming Home to Natchitoches Multi-Family Reunion" was having Cousin Benny there.  He truly was "the life of the party" and made everyone feel special at the reunion.  

Family, I know that we will all miss Cousin Benny from this walk of life.  But, rest assured, that he is now enjoying the glory of heaven with our loved ones who have gone on before him.

God bless you all our dear Cousins.  Keep your eyes on Jesus, for He is the Author and Finisher of our faith.  Know that earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.

With all our love to our family,
Cousins Kevin T. and Bridget M. Jenkins and Family
New Iberia, Louisiana

To the most darling of Uncles, 
January 30, 2021, was the day you left us, Benny. A day we grieved with utmost sadness. For me, there are almost no words for this. After all, how do you say “Goodbye” to someone when you haven’t actually come to terms with the fact that they are gone? I miss you already Benny and still cannot get over your unexpected death. It always seems like we have all the time in the world, only to realize how fleeting it really is. I wish we had more time to do and say the things we saved for later, which along with you, is gone forever. It hurts so much, Uncle. Every day I think of you and still can't believe you're gone. I realize a thousand words won’t bring you back, I know because I’ve tried; neither will a thousand tears, I know because I’ve cried. What a wonderful Uncle you were Benny. A loving brother to your brothers and sisters. A loving cousin to your cousins and a loving friend to your friends. You were always so vivacious and warm, that I suppose I just took your being around for granted. I have so many memories of you and will cherish the time that we had with you and the amazing memories that you have left behind. The Bible says in everything give thanks, and I am indeed full of thanksgiving for the privilege of having had you in my life. You are INIMITABLE and IRREPLACEABLE. I love you but God loves you more and I know that he has you resting comfortably in his everlasting arms. 
Your family loves you so much!
Your neice,
Deb
Sleep Well Uncle. Rest in Perfect Peace.🥲
