RIP Charles Jerome Barker aka "Gator"

On the morning of 10/14/2020, Charles Jerome Barker aka “Gator” was tragically taken from his family and friends too soon. Charles was born on 5/19/1972 to his loving mother Grace Barker and father Douglas Jackson.  He leaves behind his 7 children Shavon, Michael, Natasha, Michael, Savyon, Sade, and Tatiana, as well as 3 grandchildren Xavier, Christopher and Harper. He will be missed dearly by his 2 sisters Larrine and Nicole as well as his brother Lorenzo. His sudden and tragic death has left his family and friends devastated and while they grieve the loss of their loved one, they are also trying to give him a proper send off. The loss of a child is one of the most devastating things any parents can endure. It is a pain that no mother or father should ever have to face. Charles deserves a proper funeral where his family and friends can pay their respects and a resting place that his family and friends can go to in remembrance of his life.
