  4. Condolences to the Stewart family. I passed by your old home on Bay Street and wondered how your family was doing (my old house on 2nd Avenue North is gone). Rest in peace, Chuckie.

    Charles has always been a Very kind & Caring soul to all who were blessed to know him. Every year without fail, Charles would invite me to his church to hear the word of God & listen to the church choir perform. Charles spread the gift of God’s love to all whom he just met or knew him for the very kind & caring soul & talented man God created him to be! May God bless and provide his love, peace, and comfort to family and friends who will miss him deeply! 🙏✝️

  6. I am sorry for the family of Charles and please accept my condolences during this difficult time. I was a neighborhood friend of the family during the late 50’s and 60’s. My name is Lee Luna. Charles was just a boy and I saw him as a very gifted and sensitive kid. His sister Aritis looked over him and Artis to this day has remained a member of my family almost over 60 years..
    Artis, I am sorry for the loss of your brother Chuckie. I wish you peace and comfort over the passing of your dear brother. Lee.

  10. To the family of my dear sweet friend Charles I would like to send my sympathies. Charles n I met at our local club break n run. He was such a great friend n a power house singer. He joined me on that stage in the club singing many duets together. The one I will never ever forget is from this moment on by Shania twain. To Charles I still can’t believe your gone from this earth but you will forever stay in my heart. Much love Susan

  11. Charles was also one of the newest members of the New Dimensions Choral Society in Shreveport which specializes in spirituals. His powerful Tenor voice was featured as a soloist in at least one of our songs. We’re really gonna miss him. Sadly, we hadn’t rehearsed since the start of the pandemic. I’m particularly saddened that he never got to join us in another rehearsal once this is behind us.
