A Life of Love, Honor, Strength, and Service

With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved Charles Linwood, who peacefully entered into eternal rest on October 30, 2026. Charles was a proud military veteran, devoted husband, loving father, cherished grandfather, great grandfather, beloved brother, and a man whose life was filled with love, strength, dedication, and honor.

Charles was born on November 13, 1954, in Augusta, Georgia, where he was raised and spent his early years. He was the youngest of four siblings, born to Joe Marvin Linwood and Betty Jean Linwood. Growing up, Charles developed the strength, determination, and values that would guide him throughout his life. Charles began studying the bible with Jehovah’s Witness East Augusta congregation and came to love the truth of their teachings. Where he was later baptized.

Charles was a remarkable man who proudly served his country with courage, dignity, and commitment. As a military veteran, he understood the true meaning of sacrifice, loyalty, and service. Charles retired from J and J Midsouth after 25 years of dedicated service. His years of hard work and commitment reflected the strong work ethic, determination, and sense of responsibility that he carried throughout his life.

As a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Sarah Jones-Linwood, Charles understood the true meaning of love, commitment, and standing beside the one he cherished. Their bond was a testament to devotion, companionship, and the importance of family.

As a loving father, Charles was a source of guidance, wisdom, protection, and strength. He took great pride in his children and the lives they built. He understood that being a father meant more than providing for a family; it meant being present, offering encouragement, teaching valuable lessons, and showing love through both words and actions.

His love extended beyond his children to his grandchildren, great grandchildren each of whom held a special place in his heart. Being a grandfather, great grandfather brought Charles tremendous joy and pride. He cherished the opportunity to watch his grandchildren grow, share precious moments with them, and create memories that will remain in their hearts forever.
