Charles Young

Charles Edward Young, 65, passed away May 4, 2020 at the VA Central Iowa Health Care System in Des Moines, Iowa.

Charles was born November 13, 1954 in Tupelo, MS. He served in the US Army and had a career as a culinary chef. Charles was a simple man who enjoyed the pleasures of life. He always let you know where he stood with him. Faithfully attending his NA and AA meeting was very important to him. “One day at a time” was the motto he would say to those he would meet to give encouragement. Charles liked to listen to music and watch sports, especially football and basketball. Family was most important to him. He especially cherished his grandchildren. He loved going to Tupelo for visits and sending little “care packages of snacks” to the grandkids.

Left to mourn his loss is his daughter, Angela Young (Omar Adams) Tupelo, MS; his mother, Christine Sullivan, Tupelo, MS; grandchildren, Anecia Harris, Aysia Harris, Alexis Armstrong, and Anterion Venson all of Tupelo, MS; sister, Janet Holland, Tupelo, MS; and brother, John Sullivan, Birmingham, AL.

He was preceded in death by his brothers, Floyd Sullivan, Sr., Dennis Sullivan, Vincent Sullivan, and great-grandson, Hayden Thomas.
