Charlie Montgomery

This is the story of a man who worked hard and loved what he did. About a man who married a most wonderful woman, with whom he had two children. His son tried to mimic his every move in pure admiration, but unfortunately was taken from the family way too soon. His daughter was far from “daddy’s little girl,” and he struggled to get to know her in her younger years. But he came around, finally. He realized she was alright. And life was good. And it’s important to mention that he had some really great, honest friends. 

Eventually though, life caught up with him, and he too was taken from this world too soon.

His spirit will not be forgotten though. He is proof that people can change, that a person can always surprise you. Even if it’s at their own pace and by their rules, if you open your heart, they can become a very special part of your life.

These photos are dedicated to just one facet of who he was, but a very important one. They represent his loyalty, his hard work ethic and his God given talent to take a piece of land and transform it into something beautiful. On a deeper level, they represent a man who had values and stuck to them, a man who was complex, yet wonderfully simple at the very same time.

He will be greatly missed.
