Ripley, Charles R. moved on to eternal rest having enjoyed 71 years of life. Charles was one of the oldest people in the world with Prader-Willi Syndrome. You could often find Charles with his fanny pack, singing, laughing and bringing others joy. Charles loved to drink Frappuccinos, play monopoly, and play with his human and pug friends. His love of all of God’s creation made him adored, loved and cherished. He was a lover of all animals and people and his presence and joy was infectious. Charles was a distinguished and adored member of the AME Community Services family for over 25 years. Thank you to everyone who cared for and loved Charles and welcomed him into their family. Memorials preferred to the Minnesota Prader-Willi Association.
