Charles had a zest for life and cherished spending time at home with his "girls," as he lovingly referred to his wife, Laura Pridgen Cruciata, and their Australian labradoodle, Toula. He was a proud long-haul semi-truck driver for 37 years, traversing the roads and exploring 47 of the lower 48 states.
In his free time, Charles enjoyed attending concerts and indulging in his favorite foods, which included spaghetti and meatballs, steak, and sushi. His infectious smile and boisterous laugh brought joy to everyone around him, and his kind heart touched the lives of many.
Charles was a devoted follower of Christ and actively contributed to Christian mission work. He generously supported various Christian ministries and faithfully attended Whipple Heights Community Alliance Church.
Remembered for his unwavering faith, warm personality, and willingness to lend a helping hand, Charles leaves behind cherished memories and a lasting impact on those who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of crossing paths with him during his remarkable journey.
Charles is survived by his wife, Laura Pridgen Cruciata and by his son, Jonathan and grandson, Ethan.
