Obituary

In Loving Memory of Charles Lawless

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Charles Lawless, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, friend, and a pillar of our community. Charles departed this world on October 18, 2023 at the age of 78, leaving behind a legacy of love, compassion, and countless cherished memories.

Born on July 23, 1945, Charles grew up in Anderson, South Carolina and later moved to Marietta, Georgia where he spent the majority of his life. He was the son of Albert Lawless and Faye Lawless, both of whom instilled in him the values of integrity, hard work, and a deep commitment to family and community.

Charles was a man of many talents and passions. He attended Anderson University with a degree in Architecture. He went on to have a successful career in Architectural Design, where his dedication and expertise were highly respected by colleagues and clients alike. He was known for his unwavering work ethic, always going the extra mile to ensure the highest quality in all that he did.

However, Charles was much more than his professional accomplishments. He was a loving husband to his wife of 58 years, Brenda Lawless, and a doting father to their two children, Gregg lawless and Stefanie Lawless. He cherished family above all else, and his devotion was unwavering. His love and guidance will forever be a source of strength and inspiration for his family.

As a friend, Charles was a beacon of kindness and generosity. He possessed a rare ability to make everyone he met feel valued and cherished. His infectious laughter and warm smile brightened the lives of those around him. He had an uncanny knack for finding the silver lining in any situation, and his optimism was a gift to us all.

Charles was also a dedicated volunteer and community member. He tirelessly gave his time and resources to numerous charitable organizations and causes close to his heart. His commitment to making the world a better place left an indelible mark on our community.

Charles Lawless will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His memory will live on through the stories, lessons, and the profound impact he had on our lives. As we say our final goodbyes, let us remember the joy he brought to our world and the love he shared with us all.

A memorial service to celebrate Charles's life will be held on Sunday, November 5th at Saint Josephs Catholic Church.

As we mourn the loss of a remarkable man, we find comfort in knowing that his legacy of love, kindness, and community will endure, forever reminding us of the extraordinary life he lived.

Rest in peace, dear Charles. You will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
