United States Army Veteran, Mr. Charles Eugene Bagley, Jr. of 110 Constitution Court, Albany, Georgia died Saturday, February 3, 2024.

The funeral service, with military honors, will be held Sunday, February 11, 2024 at 1:00 PM at the Crisp County Middle School Gymnasium in Cordele, Georgia.

On Thursday, August 1, 1968 Charles Eugene Bagley, Jr. was    welcomed to this world.  Born to Charles E. Bagley, Sr. and Roodyne Riley Bagley, he was affectionately known to his family and friends as "Chuck" or "Chucky".

Early in life he accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior and united with the Bethel CME Church.

Even as a child growing up in the public schools of Crisp County, Chucky had a way of always being the "life of the party."  He proudly graduated from the Crisp County  High School in 1986.  He went on to do further studying at Albany Technical College.

Wherever he went, he left a lasting impression.  From high school, to his service in the United States Army as an Airborne Ranger, to his love for motorcycles, or just a simple chance encounter, nobody could forget Chuck.  Family meant a great deal to him and he thoroughly enjoyed sharing his thoughts with those he loved the most.

On Saturday, February 3, 2024 our father, grandfather, brother and friend, left this world.  While our hearts will never completely mend, we are grateful for the many special memories shared over the years.

His memory will be cherished by his children, Antonio Bagley of Atlanta, Georgia, Nicole Kotalik of Illinois, Rachel (Chris) Popham of Warner Robins, Georgia, Charles E.
