Charles, you were so loved by everyone who knew you. Thank you for being such a great friend to my sister Brittany! Our family loved you and you were always so generous, kind, and awesome to be around. You were just an all around really great person! Rest in peace ❤️

I’m filled with gratitude and just thankful the Lord had it written for our paths to cross. Never too early, never too late.

I love you big dog!

He was very charismatic, friendly and generous. I feel honored to have had an opportunity to be his friend. He will be missed, and I will remember the fun times we all had together with him. - Teo Mestas

There are really no words to describe how heartbroken Teo and I are with your passing.  We are still grieving to this today and were so wishful you would come back to Chicago so we could hang out again! Charles was such an amazing person and so full of life! So funny, outgoing and always smiling and made the most of any night we spent with him.  One thing that made me happy was that Andrea found love and we in turn loved Charles for making one of my best friend's happy.  Now that you are gone, we will always remember all the fun times we had together.  Teo and I loved you so much and we will always keep your memories in our heart <3  Rest easy my friend.

When we moved to the U.S., Charles was one of our first American friends. He immediately won us over with his charm. I believe Charles could find common ground with anyone and open any door because he was such a positive and kind person. We always enjoyed our time together, and I especially remember the delicious ribs he made for us using a special recipe his father had taught him. I am grateful for his support and friendship. This is a heavy loss for us.

With deep sorrow, we remember Charles—a kind, joyful, and genuine person who brought warmth and happiness to those around him.
We first met him on a day when my husband and I went to grill steaks at our apartment complex. Charles and Andrea were there too, and that moment became the beginning of a wonderful friendship. He had a special way of making every moment meaningful, and his absence leaves an emptiness in our hearts.
We are grateful to have known him and will always cherish his memory.
Our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones during this difficult time. May the beautiful memories of Charles bring you comfort. Rest in peace, dear friend. 💔

I’ve known Charles for over 15 years. While he was stubborn to a fault, you cannot say his heart wasn’t big! He would get so irritated when I would insist I could do my house and yard projects on my own that he would hire people to just show up and take over and make me send him photo evidence that I didn’t turn them away 😂😂 always helping even from a distance and always making time for everyone.

We are so sorry.  Charles will be missed. We loved the way he took care of the stray cats that would visit. A person who cares about animals is a caring person.  We enjoyed our visits to Austin. Especially loved his peppery turkey at thanksgiving. 😊. Love from Darryl and Linnea Mayo, Andrea’s parents.
