Charles Davis Obituary

I remember him fondly from my years at Goose Creek High. He was a kind and gentle soul. Greeted all of his students with a smile and a kind word. RIP Coach Davis!

My friendship with Charlie Davis began over 50 years ago at (now) Charleston Southern where he was on a Track and Field Scholarship. He was in Married student Housing.We crossed paths again when I took a job teaching at Goose Creek High.Through teaching, Coaching, and again as Guidance Counselor, we were friends and colleagues. He was never Charles, but known to all as Charlie. The beginning of every conversation with him was a discussion about Travis, Melissa, Shannon his children. Then 15 minutes later we were talking about students. Family first! He had a bond with students, totally devoted to doing the right thing as an advocate for kids. As an Assistant Principal I recall him recommending a student for
expulsion. After finding out the nature of her problems, at the last minute he went to the board meeting asking them to give her another chance. We later teamed up with John Fulmer, Virginia Van, under Sam Brant loving GCHS, teachers, students and parents. As Principal at Hanahan High, I became his Assistant Principal. The merger with half the Cainhoy High School students was the challenge he was born to fulfill. When I disciplined kids, Charlie gently reprimanded me for being too hard on kids. In addition to his own kids, Charlie gave his heart, and Christian Values to students, teachers, and Parents. There are many adjectives to describe Charlie. I called him "The Peace Maker". This is a short description of our collaboration in schools. Rest Dear Friend. I will see you on the other Side.
Your friend and Colleague,

When I came to Berkeley County in 2006 as the special education director Charlie welcomed me to the district with open arms. I had the privilege to work with him and he helped me grow as a leader. He was a "sermon in shoes" daily living his Christianity in all his actions and words. I'm blessed that God allowed him to be a part of my journey in this life. My condolences to his dear family. Rest in Peace Charlie. You made a huge difference in this world.

Charlie was a wonderful individual. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to work with him under his leadership. He was a true man of God.

Condolences to all of Charlie's family, friends, students, players, and co-workers. As all of you know, Charlie was a treasure. I spent many weekends with Charlie, laughing, playing golf, and enjoying life. I will miss the stories, the wit, and the wisdom. I can only hope to be half the man, and friend, Charlie was to us all. I know Charlie dearly loved his family. Mainly because family was easily his favorite topic of conversation. Peace to you all. Treasure the memories. I know I am a better man for having known him. And Charlie, I'm still not giving you any strokes...

Mr Charles was a wonderful man always had good things to say to all was always smiling and In good spirits
Rest in peace Mr Davis

Mr. Davis was one of the coaches that played a great role in my junior and senior years of high school. May God bless his family.

Charlie Davis was a phenomenal human being who loved God, his family, and all of the children he served. I will never forget playing golf with him as well. My life was enriched just by knowing him.

I worked with Mr. Davis at GCHS in the 80's. He was always a supportive principal. So very sorry for your loss! Praying fond memories and condolences of all who knew him will sustain you in your time of grief.
Sincerely, Dawn Ellison Smith

Charlie was a good friend, co-worker in Berkeley County and a regular on the ball fields with us over the last 40 something years as we all raised and supported our kids while playing sports. Charlie was always a perfect gentleman. He will be missed. Prayers during n g this time to all of his family. Special hugs to Shannon and Melissa

Charlie was a true friend. I worked in Parks and Recreation for over 44 years in Berkeley County. He was always there if I every needed assistance in using high school facilities at Goose Creek or Hanahan. My thoughts and prayers for the family. What a great man and I will never forget the conversations we had.

What a kind, unassuming, gentle man. He was always "Charlie", no matter what titles he held. When he spoke with you, there was no doubt that you had his full attention.
Charlie was principal when I worked at Hanahan High as their School Psychologist. He always made me feel valued, as he did with everyone. BCSD was so lucky to have had the gift of Charlie Davis. My condolences to his family.

Charlie is an old family friend. He was such a good man and mentor at Goose Creek High. He will be missed. God bless.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Charlie's passing. I worked with him for years at Hanahan High School; first he was my principal; then when he went to the district office and I became the registrar he was my go to man for help. He was a fine man and students and staff in Berkeley County benefitted from his wisdom, experience, and kind heart. My condolences go to his family and friends. RIP.

Sending condolences to the Davis Family. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
Having worked in the BCSD for more than 45 years, I knew Mr. Davis was a kind and caring person. However, about 25 years ago, God used him in a mighty way in my life. He gave me some advice that forever changed the trajectory of my son's educational path. It seemed so simple to him, but to my son, it was life-altering, and for that, I thank God. Mr. Davis was a man of wisdom and compassion. He will always hold a special place in heart. I thank God for his life, and I know the angels are rejoicing in heaven.

Charlie was a good man and touched so many lives of students and teachers through out
Berkeley County. I will be forever grateful for his friendship and mentorship of my career. My deepest sympathies go out to his family and closes friends.
