Charles Berry

Charles Lyndale Berry was born on May 7, 1973, to Mrs. Shirley Ann Williams and the late Charles Williams in Darlington, SC.
Charles received his formal education in the Chesterfield County school system at McBee High School in McBee, SC. He enlisted to the US Navy in 1992 after high school graduation and after 26 years of service he retired in 2018. He gave his life to Christ at an early age and as his illness progressed, he remained steadfast trusting in God.
Charles loved the Navy and everything it stands for; he created many bonds with his fellow soldiers and enjoyed moving up in ranks learning everything that he could and sharing what he knew as well. He really loved cars (nice ones) and you could also find him somewhere doing the most popular dance moves and catering to his family and friends making sure that everyone was alright. Charles L Berry was united in holy matrimony with Saundra L McBride-Berry on November 16, 2002, in Chesterfield, SC. Their union was blessed with one child, Zion A Berry.
