Charles Walter "Birddog" Edwards

February 25, 1952 — January 12, 2025

Ackerman, MS

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Charles W. “Birddog” Edwards, a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend, on January 12, 2025.

Born on February 25, 1952, to Will and Nell Edwards, Charles grew up embodying the values of faith, hard work, and kindness. He carried these qualities throughout his life, leaving an indelible mark on everyone he met. 

As a devoted father to his six children—Danny, Renea, Carolyn, Charles Michael, Priscilla and Jacob—Charles showed the unconditional love that God calls us to share. His children were his greatest joy, and he poured his heart into guiding, supporting, and loving them. 

Charles was known for his tireless dedication to helping others. Whether working hard to provide for his family or lending a hand to a stranger in need, he lived a life of service and generosity. He was a man who would give the shirt off his back without hesitation, reflecting his selfless and compassionate spirit. He was a God fearing Christian man.

His impact extended far beyond his family. Charles’ warmth and integrity touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. To know him was to experience genuine kindness and steadfast love.
