Charles Ian Gray

No matter how long it's been since you left, you will never be forgotten. You have remained in my heart every moment of my days and will remain so till we meet again. I love and miss you much! 

Happy birthday boo boo! I miss you and the fun times we had on saipan.. you'll always be a part of us.. I remember when we were so young, you'll get dropped to our house in ck and we would have a good time, playing and driving the parents crazy.. I love and miss you cousin.. 

Charles was a Foodie - he loved watching cooking shows (his favorites were Iron Chef and Good Eats), cooking (barbequing was his favorite and was great at it), and definitely eating.  There were times when he would ask what's for breakfast as we were eating dinner.  He was always looking forward to the next meal.  He use to call me at work everyday to ask what we were cooking for dinner that evening so he can start prepping for it.  He loved cooking and it was such a pleasure to have him as a partner in the kitchen.  I miss you Charles!

Back in 1992 I seen Ian for the first time, But Now My older brother Henry is destroyed for loosing his only boy Charles. And I know He blames himself for not being there all those days past.
When I see these pictures it deeply sadens me, to know what a loss we have lost in Charles.
I used to talk to charles over the phone. but I never had the chance to meet the teenager Charles in person.
I see the soul of my older brother in the life in these pictures. and I know that this end was not only Charles's but my brother's too. Henry is everyday in a deep slump of zonk due to the loss of his only son Charles Ian Gray. 
You are everyday missed!!!

You were the first boy I ever had a crush on. You're smile was beautiful and you were so full of fun, and laughter. Thank you for making an impression on me the short while you were in my life.

I think about you everyday, EVERY EVERY EVERY DAY
I miss you lots and I love you

i remeber we were in detion and spitballing the teacher and and made up fake names to get outta detention and we were making fun of emily in lunchroom and got in trouble we laughed the whole way to the office and got more detention lol miss you xox

do u remember the time we first meet it was in mr wingroves class 7th grade u were the first peson to talk to me in there and my first friend and the thing i remember the most is u introducing me to every one its was kinda like u made it your personal mission to make me meet everyone in school ill never forget that day and u will always be missed love u man rip

I miss all the pranks you use to pull on me, like the time you froze my water bra and all the times you hid things from me like all the pots and pans, my keys, toilet tissue, etc...  You loved watching me go crazy looking for things.  I swear you took all the fun with you when you left.  Life is so boring without you.  You always reminded me to slow down, laugh a little, smell the roses.  I miss you so much.  

I remeber you asked me out a couple hours before you left for Saipan! I also remember you couldnt always get on myspace while you were gone but when u did you always left a message saying you loved me and missed me. And when we broke up u understood and when u came back you came to my house for a second chance and i said no i remember everyday getting off the bus youd grab and hold my hand or grab me and kiss me  whiich always made me blush.... I remember nick bishop came to my house the night u got sick. We were trying to call u cause i wanted to ask you back out. We were going to just walk there but i was too lazy to walk. and everyday i think about that and think if only i would have walked there mayb you would still be here... i still have messages saved from you on my computer. i miss you and love you very much

I remember when you came to Saipan last summer we had so much fun together..i would never forget the fun times we spent together.it's jus so hard now dat you're not here with us....I miss you!!!

If I could only go back in time.

 

I was so busy through the day, I didn’t take the time to play.  When you brought your games to me, I told you “Not now,” and quietly, I cleaned the house, I’d iron and cook, but when you’d bring your story book, and ask me to sit and read to you, I’d say, “I have too much to do”.  I’d tuck you in your bed at night, you’d say your prayers, I’d dim the light.  Too quickly I’d pass through the door, I should have stayed a minute more.  Life’s much too short, each year flies past, my little boy grew up so fast.  No longer playing by my side, for me to nurture and to guide.  The books and toys are packed away, no longer are there games to play.  No precious bedtime prayers to hear, that all belongs to yester-year.  My days once busy now are calm, the hours empty and too long.  I wish I could go back and do all the things you asked me to. I love and miss you so very much my Chuckimandoo.

It was two weeks before you passed. And I saw you at Fleishman and before I even realized it was you, you had jumped on me and given me a huge hug saying you missed seeing me around school. I was so psyched to see you again. I had been hacky sacking with some friends and you asked to join in the game. So we passed it to you. You kicked it hard as you could, the look on your face when it got stuck in the tree was great. I'll never forget it. Then next thing we knew..all of us were trying to climb the tree to get it. That was the last time I saw you, and a memory I'll cherish forever.

I miss you and will always love you Charles.

We did not know each other for long, but we too shared memories.  My mommy is helping me remember you and she is the one typing this for me.  She asked me what do I remember about you and I said I remember I slept with you under the bed.  I wanted to go home that night and you were the one to call my mom up and ask her to pick me up.  My mom says that one day we will all meet again and I hope that she is right because I want to see you again.  You were a fun and loving person and I will never forget you.  I miss you Uncle Charles!

I remember how sad and shocked we were when Steve Irwin passed away.  You were so sad because he was one of your favorite TV personalities.  You were also shocked because he was so young and so full of life.  Little did we know at the time that in just 11 days you too, as young as you were and as full of life as you were, were going to leave us.  It breaks my heart to no end to remember those days.  I prefer to dwell on my fond memories of you (my favorite personality) and your Steve Irwin impersonations.  Your impersonations were spot on and you always made me, as you put it, ROTFLMAO.  I am fortunate to have a copy of one of those impersonations on tape.  I believe that you and Steve are in heaven now wrestling 'gators and enjoying each others company.

Boo Boo i remember asking you when was your birthday when you were little and you replied jurrasic park.  When you came to saipan we didn't get to do all that we said we were gonna do.  I even missed you at the airport when you were leaving back.  I thought that we had all the time in the world.  God Boo I miss you so much.  Always know that we love you.  One day we will meet again.

You don't know how much I miss you.  I live each day as it comes, functioning in all my tasks, smiling when needed, even laughing at times.  But inside I am so alone, each minute seems like an hour, each hour seems like a day.  What makes this time bearable are my thoughts of you and knowing that I will be with you soon.

Wallowing in a vat of despair.  Eyes raw.  Bleeding heart.  Desolation.  Wailing, sobbing.  Every fibre, screaming with pain.  Loss.  Anger.  Disbelief.  15 years.  My tortured soul, pines for you.

Remember the time we spent in Saipan?  Well I do.  I would never forget you or the memories!!!  I LOVE YOU with ALL MY HEART!!!!!
