Charlie was obviously way too young to be included here. Although he lived fun, fast, and full; he passed peacefully in his sleep from natural causes related to an undetected heart condition. He and his whole family have been very close to us at the studio for a long time. Our friendship along with this sad loss has bound us even closer.
In the sadness of our loss, a joy has come to his family in the birth of his niece who bears his name. Lil' Charlie has the "giv'er 90" spirit made so well known by her uncle.
The tattooed portrait pictured below is done on his mother, Deb, who he always referred to affectionately as, "Mama," The flame tattoo pictured below the portrait, is the same tattoo Charlie had done on his arm. Saying we miss him doesn't nearly explain the void in our hearts.
