Condolence: Charlie was a special friend of whom I was very fond. Wow, I’m thinking football officiating, and children’s baseball. The somewhat crusty exterior clearly masked a large, warm heart. Thanks for many years of friendship. Blessings to your family. Sincerely, Larry Jones, Lexington, KY

Condolence: Gina, We were so sorry to hear about Uncle Charlie’s passing! We are praying that your heart feels the depth of your Heavenly Father’s comfort and love sweet, Gina. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4

Condolence: Gina, I played basketball at Starkville High in 68,69 and 70. Uncle Charlie drove the bus and all of us loved him so much. After graduation from college, when I would come home and run into him periodically, we would share a big hug and “catch up” with each other. He always had a smile and a twinkle in his eyes. We had some great teams back then and he was as much a part of my memories as the championships we won. He will always remain a beautiful memory in my heart. Praying for you and the rest of the family. Class of ‘70.

Condolence: No human being has gotten on a bus and taken more kids to more sports events than Charlie Thrasher. What a ministry he lived in his position as bus driver to Starkville High School games—-letting students eat on the way home and getting off the bus sometimes at midnight. One might think of his life work as modest; I have a lump in my throat thinking of the impact he made on young people. Toni Graves

Condolence: Gina, I was sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I know how much he meant to you and all of Starkville. He will be missed. Maybe it helps to know others are thinking about you. May your memories be sweet.

Condolence: Gina, You know I was always crazy about Mr Charlie. Thinking about you, and sorry I can’t be there for you Beth

Condolence: Uncle Charlie won’t be forgotten. I worked with him on the Chain Crew for over 20 years. Lots of good memories.
