Charles John Organ, Sr.

Charles John Organ Sr., 65, of Charleston, South Carolina, passed away on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.

Born on November 6, 1958, in Detroit, Michigan, was the son of (the late) Mary Organ (Rogers) and Daniel Organ.

Charles was a dedicated husband, father, and papa. He enjoyed building and fixing things in his spare time, and was always ready to lend a hand to others in need of a master handyman. He had an unwavering dedication to his favorite sports team, The Detroit Lions, even through the perilous years of the franchise. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his loving wife and family.

In addition to his parents, Charles is preceded in death by his sister Mary Kay, and his brother Daniel.

Charles is survived by his beloved wife of nearly 15 years, Lorie Shepperd; loving children Collin, Charles Jr. (Lauren), Chelsea (Matt), and Shane (Courtney); precious grandchildren Emma, Maeve, Genevieve, Evangelina; dear siblings Michael (Linda), Lawrence, Anne, Peggy (Mike), Patricia (John), and Sister-in-law Cheryl; as well as many nieces and nephews.

A celebration of life may take place in the near future, but there are no plans for a memorial service at this time.
