Coach Brow and family we extend our deepest sympathy for your loss. Keeping you all in our prayers.
We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Wayne & Neil Jordan
Charlie meant so much to both of us. We are so sorry to lose him here, but know that he is with his Savior and free from all of the health problems that he has gone through. He was a good, kind man. We will miss his sweet smile and laughter.
Charlie was one of the most kind sweet soft spoken gentleman that we have ever known, Now he is with our Heavenly Father rejoicing, no more pain and suffering. We will miss him immensely, but take comfort in knowing he is at peace. Love and prayers to his family. Love, Charlie and Loretta Higdon

Charles was store manager for CARQUEST Auto Parts and I was factory rep that called on Charles. In 44 years of being in the parts business he was the “trainer” on employees I ever met. I will miss him. charlie
