He attended the public schools in Marlboro County and graduated from Bennettsville High School in 1991. He worked as a Forklift Driver at Marsh Furniture Company for eight years, proving to be a reliable and diligent employee. He was committed to his job and rarely missed a day of work, even if it required him to walk.

Charles had an infectious smile that brightened the lives of everyone around him. His playful spirit and jovial nature made him a beloved figure. As he journeyed through life, he made numerous friendships, using his unique blend of humor to bring joy, laughter, and even a few tears at the same time.

He shared a remarkable bond with his wife, Lucinda—a relationship filled with warmth, love, and laughter. In his free time, Charles found solace in fishing, and he adored riding his scooter. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

He is survived by his loving wife of eighteen years, Lucinda Cook. He left behind one son, Davonte Roberson, and one daughter, Carlissa S.
