I remember the day when a simple dive from a boat dock on my parent's property changed Charlie's life forever. Though we lost contact after his accident, I remember him very well as a childhood friend who I went to school and church with.
I am glad Charlie was able to keep his faith when many would have lost theirs. He now walks with his mom, dad, and Jesus in Heaven. God bless you Charlie, I'll look you up when I get there.

My sympathies to the Nix family. Charlie is in a much better place that he OFTEN talked about. He is walking, running, and skipping for the first time in a long time. God bless your family during this time. He will be greatly missed.

Charlie is now running and jumping and having the best time in heaven and I'll see him again someday. I sure will miss having him here, though. My prayers are for strength and comfort for all the family.

THINKING OF YOU
Walter and Sandra Calbaugh
I am sorry to hear about Charlie, we used to sit next to each other in History class. He asked me out one time and I really can't remember where we went, except for the fact that he was a gentleman. He was always so friendly and had a great personality. I heard years ago that he had been in an accident, but did not know where he was.My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
