He graduated from Carver-Smith High School in 1967, and then went on to serve his county bravely in the U.S. Army.

He was interested in what people had to say, and liked talking and listening to music. He was a member of the Macedonia Baptist Church.

Charles leaves behind to cherish his memory one son: Charles Kinzer, Jr.; three sisters: Rosie Wells, Annie Kinzer, Deborah Webster; devoted niece: Diana Polk, and a host of nieces, nephews and other family and friends.
