Charlie Prentis Bright

Beloved Father, Grandfather, and Friend

1958 – 2025

Charlie Bright passed away surrounded by love. Known for his positive attitude, easygoing nature, and his gift for not taking life too seriously, Charlie brought light and warmth to every room he entered. He had a way of making people feel instantly at home, and his presence will be deeply missed.

Charlie was the proud father of Summer Bright, Stefanie Bright, and Jacoby Olguin, and a devoted grandfather to Onyx, Sofiah, Stella, Servetta, and Stryder. His love for his family was unwavering, and he found great joy in being part of their lives.

Charlie’s legacy is one of laughter, love, and living life with heart. He reminded us to enjoy the little things, not take ourselves too seriously, and to always find something to smile about.

A Celebration of Life will be held on:

Saturday, July 19th at 1:00 PM

1877 on the Strand

2411 Strand Street

Galveston, TX 77550

We’ll gather in the upstairs area for food, music, and memory sharing. Children are welcome - just as Charlie would have wanted - surrounded by love and laughter.

In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to honor Charlie by sharing a story, playing his favorite song, or simply taking a moment to enjoy life the way he did - with humor, heart, and a little bit of fun.
