Charlie passed due to medical complications from a spinal cord injury in 1991.
He was born on April 2, 1970, in Eldorado, the son of Charles Bradford Barker Jr. and Violet Deloris (Miller) Barker.

As a young man, he attended Eldorado High School, class of ’89 where purple and gold ran through his veins, and continued throughout his life as an ardent fan.

Charlie transferred to the University of Southern Indiana where he had aspirations of becoming a secondary science educator, unfortunately due to health issues he was unable to continue.
Charlie lived out his life as an athlete, brother, uncle, student and loyal friend. He loved to be helpful and was a source of strength and comfort to others despite his own challenges. His passing is a time of great sorrow to his loved ones and friends, he will forever be missed.
