With profound sadness and heartfelt sympathy, we announce the passing of Dr. Charvis Buckholts, 37, of Morrow, Georgia, who departed this life on June 6, 2026.

Celebration of Life for Dr. Charvis Buckholts will be held Saturday, June 20th at 11:00 a.m. at the Dooly County High School Gymnasium, in Vienna GA.

With hearts full of gratitude for a life that left a lasting impression on so many, we reflect on the early years of Dr. Charvis Bartelle “Runt” Buckholts, whose journey on Earth began on November 28, 1988, in Perry, Georgia, as the beloved son of Theresa Outlaw Buckholts and Charlie B. Buckholts, Sr. He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Roosevelt (Elnora) Buckholts, Sr. and Freddie B. (Earner) Outlaw.

Faith and fellowship remained meaningful and sustaining pillars throughout Charvis’s life. He professed his faith in Christ at an early age and remained steadfast in his spiritual walk throughout his life. He was a devoted member of Church of Life in Atlanta, Georgia, where he faithfully served as the Director of Youth and Young Adults for two years, encouraging spiritual growth, fostering community, and positively influencing the lives of those entrusted to his care.

At the center of Charvis’s life was an unwavering love for family and a deep appreciation for the relationships that shaped and sustained him. He understood that family extended beyond shared names; it was expressed through presence, encouragement, loyalty, and the countless ways he showed up for those he loved.
