Honoring the Legacy of a Loving Man and Community Pillar

On January 9th, we unexpectedly lost our beloved father Charles Gilford Jr.—a man whose heart was as big as his faith. He was a God-fearing husband, a loving father, and a pillar in his community, always striving to make the world a better place by lifting others up. His love for his family was boundless, and his kindness touched everyone he met. Though his passing has left a hole in our hearts, we take comfort in knowing he is in a better place, resting in the peace he so richly deserved. He is survived by his loving wife Tracy Gilford and his children and their spouses. Marcus, Charles III and Rikki, Carina and Roosevelt, and Sidney. He is also survived by his grandchildren Liliana and Charles IV. His siblings Charlotte, Cassandra, and Carlton.

We are humbly asking for support to help cover the costs of his burial & support for his widowed wife Tracy as we navigate this difficult time. Any contribution, no matter how small, would be deeply appreciated by our family. Your kindness during this time of loss means more than words can express.

Thank you for helping us honor his legacy.
