A graduate of Bainbridge High School, Class of 1997, Charles was a member of Bainbridge First Church of the Nazarene and worked as a truck driver for A-1 Industries. He enjoyed playing pool and had the opportunity to compete in Vegas twice. He was a country music fan, loved to sing, and enjoyed watching movies.

Charles had a great sense of humor that made him fun to be around; cutting up and making people laugh was like a never-ending game for him. When he couldn’t woo you with his antics, he was sure to win favor with food. As the grill master, he always had a little smoke, a little sizzle, and a whole lot of laughs.

Survivors include his children, Kelly Glisson (Alex), Summer Sheffield (Devin), Haylee Bryan, and Christian Bryan; his grandchildren, Miles & Phoebe; his mother & stepfather, Carolyn & Bobby Blackmon; his brother, William Stacy Bryan; his sister-in-law, Amy Bolyard; his nephew & niece, James Bryan III and Melanie Mesa; and a host of extended family. Charles was preceded in death by his father, James Bryan, Sr., and his brother, James Bryan, Jr.
