Charles and I became friends at AT&T. We enjoyed plenty of laughs and playing our Meta Quest games. My deepest Condolences.
I really enjoyed getting to know Charles as a BI Georgia Chapter Director. He had such a sweet spirit. Praying for the family during this time.
With deepest sympathy and prayers
I am deeply saddened by Charles' passing and extend my heartfelt sympathy to his family, friends and coworkers, as well as fellow members of the Georgia Chapter of Better Investing. I had the privilege of serving on the Board of the Georgia Chapter of Better Investing with Charles. His calm and kind spirit, along with his diligent work ethic, was always evident. Charles was deeply committed to helping friends, family, and fellow members learn how to invest and grow their personal finances. When he taught virtual lessons during the club's web mentoring sessions, he consistently drew the largest audiences of family members and co-workers, a testament to both his knowledge and the trust others placed in him. I hope all who knew Charles will take his gentle reminders to heart and honor his memory by continuing to grow in financial wisdom. Rest in peace, Charles.
My deepest condolences to the Lemon family. My prayers are with you. AT&T Friend

I had the privilege of knowing Charles Lemon through my role as the BetterInvesting Region Mentor to his Georgia Chapter of BetterInvesting. Charles's service as the chapter's treasurer was truly flawless. Month after month, he carried out his responsibilities with care, integrity, and professionalism. I will especially miss hearing his melodic voice as he presented his monthly treasurer's report — a small but meaningful moment that reflected his steady presence and commitment. Charles's contributions to the chapter were many. As treasurer, he helped manage the chapter wisely and ensured that resources were raised and available to support the chapter's education program. His dedication made a lasting difference, and he will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of working with him.
I had the privilege of working with Charles for the past several years. He cheered up a room just by walking in with his laid back and pleasant disposition. He had a can do attitude and was always eager to help others no matter the circumstances. No request was too much to ask. Charles--you will be forever missed but not forgotten.
My sincere condolences are deeply expressed to the Lemon family. Charles and I went back to elementary school. I remembered him as cool and quiet,but most of all,I have very good memories of him. May his soul rest in heavenly peace and his family have peace and understanding Anthony Lawson and family.
Charles' s smile would light up any room he entered. A great fella will be missed. A friend and classmate.
