Charlie was born Charlie Martin Avants on October 16, 1928 in Whon, Texas to Thomas Edgar and Mary Ann Schultz Avants the youngest of 11 children. Charlie was a lifetime resident of the Community and attended the Gouldbusk Schools and was member of the Gouldbusk Methodist Church. On December 20, 1951 he married the love and companion for his life Kathleen Hibbetts in Talpa, Texas and they celebrated 70 years marriage.

Charlie was a founding member of the Gouldbusk Rodeo Association and member of the Coleman County Farm Bureau. He loved team roping and his family, especially grandchildren and great grandchildren he held close to his heart. As a farmer and rancher he kept the land and livestock in his care on his priorities list.

Charlie had a somewhat unique of showing his, but one thing his grandchildren would count on was that he would make sure that they were taken care of and loved. He was a great man with a big heart and selfless nature. If memories made his grandsons in an old farm truck, chasing cattle and hauling hay a man rich. Charlie would have been a millionaire. He wasn't a millionaire, but he was rich. Rich with so many who loved him and were proud to call him theirs , whether it was husband, Dad, brother, uncle or friend. He loved and was just as proud of them all. Rich in his honesty; you never had to wonder what he was thinking. Rich in his domino playing ability, he was unmatched. He knew what was in his opponent's hands most of the time before they did. He loved watching football.

Charlie loved his time at the arena. Whether it was the girls, the boys, the cattle or the he loved it. Grandkids will never forget his voice asking if the had gotten their report cards yet, if they had a 'sodee pop' he could have and to eat certain vegetables so their eyes stayed blue, and that flipped up bill on his cap that only he could pull off. Charlie was the epitome of a hardworking, hard loving man.

He was preceded in death by a daughter, Lynn (Ruth Lynette) Stephenson, on June 22, 2007, his parents and siblings.
