Charles Person Obituary

May he be remembered. May your hearts be comforted by God's grace. Philippians 4:6-7!

Offering our deepest condolences during this time.

Charlie was a trusted friend and advisor. Rest in Eternal Peace until we meet again in Paradise.

I met Mr Person about 13years ago. He was a lovely, smart caring man. Open to new ideas for sadly age old problems. A true hero and patriot. You will be missed beyond measure. Rest well. You lived an exemplary and extraordinary life. Well done.

I didn´t know Mr. person however after reading about his bravery, I felt I needed to write to his family to say" thank you" for his bravery. I would like to say I would have joined him on the bus to Birmingham, however I think I would have been to frightened. Thank goodness he was determined to right the wrong. Sincerely, Jane Ward

I learned about the Freedom Riders during "Current Events" in social studies class. I admired all of them. Even if Mr. Person had done nothing more in his life, his participation in those rides is a great deed that did much good and inspired many of us to get involved, at least in some way in the fight for racial justice. Thank you, Mr. Person for what you did.

I will always remember how he cared for my son which is his great nephew. He always shared his books with him to include a Tshirt that my son proudly wore. He will definitely be missed. Thankful for his many WORKS...He will NEVER be forgotten.

I am sad to read of Charles's death. It was an honor to visit him & his wife at their home, their church & hear him speak at a Howard Alumni Breakfast. My deepest condolences goes out to Mrs Person & the entire family Person family. May your legacy live on.

Thank you for your bravery! God bless the family during this sad time. Keep his legacy alive!

A great activist that worked so hard to help others. His dedication has helped so many and was very much appreciated. Heartfelt condolences to the Person family, so very sorry for your loss. May God be with you all.

Your heart soon will be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
