Charles H. Evans, Jr., Daytona Beach Shores, Florida, entered into eternal life Christmas morning 2021. Charlie was born in Danville, Virginia, to the late Charles Henry Evans and Eula Mae Nunn Evans. He graduated from Tunstall High School and earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Virginia Tech University, Blacksburg, VA. Charlie began his career in 1972 in the quality Control Department Corning Glass Works, Inc. Danville. He later was the inventory Control and Cost Accounting Manager for Disston, Inc., Danville. In 1982, Charlie was hired as the Purchasing Manager and ultimately became the Vice President of Purchasing and Production Scheduling for Dritz, Inc., Spartanburg, SC.

He then became the Director of Purchasing and Production for CPE, a textile manufacturer in Union, South Carolina. Charlie retired in 2011 as the General Manager of Berbank and Company, an event planning and rental company based in Spartanburg. Charlie was an active member of the Danville Jaycees.

A favorite pastime was "playing" (not so well) in the annual Berline Golf Invitational, leaving behind a plethora of stories and memories created over many years. In retirement, Charlie developed an amazing talent for cooking and loved to travel, especially on cruises in Europe, Mexico, and the Caribbean. A charismatic, compassionate, and kind gentleman, Charlie was a loving husband, wonderful son, uncle, and great friend.
