Charles F. Inman, age 73, entered his eternal rest after a life filled with faith, service, and devotion. Born on November 12, 1952, to loving parents Frank and Helen Inman, he grew into a humble man who embodied kindness, integrity, and steady strength.
A true man of God, Charles served in many roles within the church community. He was Superintendent of Sunday School, a dedicated member of the Trustees Board, once a joyful member of the Progressive Choir, and a committed worker on the carpet and pew committee. He was also a faithful tithes payer, giving cheerfully until his health no longer allowed.
Charles worked for the City of Elyria, where he retired after 30 years of dedicated service. Known for his reliability and strong work ethic, he took pride in serving his community.
A lover of all sports, Charles especially enjoyed coaching Little League baseball for many years on the south side of Elyria, where he guided and inspired young athletes.
