Charles Roby, born December 3, 1935, in Canton, MS, passed away peacefully on October 28, 2024, at the age of 88. He was a loving husband, father, brother, and uncle. Charles served in the Marine Corps from 1953 until his honorable discharge as a Corporal in 1956. During his service, he received medals for National Defense Service and Good Conduct and participated in boxing, cherishing memories of his time in the military.

Charles is survived by  numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and many dear friends who will cherish his memory. We especially want to express our gratitude to his long-time caregiver, Shannon Byrne, for the exceptional care she provided, as well as to her children, who affectionately referred to him as “Pop’s.” They all loved him dearly.
