Charles McDonald

Age 66

of Speedwell

Charles D. McDonald, age 66, of Speedwell, TN., passed away August 3, 2009. Born in Blount Co., TN., a son of the late, William and Lula McDonald. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by daughters, Brenda Lou McDonald and Rina Mae McDonald; granddaughter, Brenda Ann McDonald; and brother, Ello McDonald. Charlie trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior on April 19, 1991 and now he is rejoicing in His Presence today. He was a member of Emmanuel Baptist Church in Speedwell. He now has a new home, he can walk, and he doesn't hurt anymore. He was loved by all of his family and friends, but we know the Lord loves him even more. He is greatly missed by all of us who knew him, but also by his little red dog Roxy, that faithfully made every step he did and would have followed him on to heaven, if she could have.
