He graduated from Troy Buchanan High School in 1982. Charles wed Linda Brown, and together, they had five children: Amber, James, Patrick, Joseph, and Harold. Charles had a passion for cattle as he worked on the family farm all of his life.

He was always the first to arrive at the start of the day, and one of the last to leave.
