Charles Abran Banks, beloved husband of the late Virginia Banks, of Greenville passed away at the age of 76 on May 11, 2023.

Born in Slater, SC, he was the son of the late Lloyd and Eva Bryant Banks. Charles was one of twelve children and grew up with a large, close-knit family.

Charles was a member of North Fork Baptist Church. After high school, Charles began working at J.P. Stevens, where he spent over 40 years of his life as a committed and loyal employee. His dedication to his job was a testament of his strong work ethic.

Throughout his life, Charles had many interests and passions. He loved racoon hunting and spent many weekends in the woods with his dogs. He was also an avid Clemson Tiger Football fan, and he never missed a game. In addition, Charles enjoyed playing golf and spent many afternoons on the golf course.

Above all else, Charles loved his family. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and brother who cherished his loved ones and always put them first. He will be remembered for his kind heart, his infectious smile, and his unwavering love for his family.

He is survived by daughter, Paula Waldrup (Randall); sons, Glenn Tuttle (Esther) and Richard Tuttle (Patricia); grandchildren, Summer Banks, Randall Batson Jr, James Waldrup, Randall Tuttle, Jennifer Tuttle, Richard Tuttle Jr, Megan Tuttle-Dorer, Lauren Tuttle, and Crystal Tuttle Ligon; 23 great grandchildren; brother, George Banks; sisters, Mary Sue McCall, Nora Lee Nelson, and Helen Willis.

In addition to his loving wife and parents, he was preceded in death by son, Wayne Tuttle; and son-in-law, Randall Waldrup.

Dear Paula, Ricky, Glenn, all grandchildren, family and friends, we are praying for you all as Charles homegoing has s brought sadness to our hearts. He touched so many lives in his daily walk as husband, father, son, brother and friend. Charles Always had a smile and loved his family and his friends. There are not enough words to express how muc Charles is loved. Today, he is with Jesus, walking on Streets of Gold, and in a New, Perfect Body. I always enjoyed talking with him as friend and as a neighbor. Charles is a fine, exemplary man, husband, father, son, brother, uncle, grandfather, cousin and friend. He always had such a warm smile and loved everyone. Charles was always concerned with other people. There are not enough words to convey how much He meant to his family and his friends. I am saying extra prayers for you. Charles always had a positive outlook. May God provide your each and every need including grace, peace, comfort, love and discernment. I cherish all of the memories of him, especially his laughter. Thank God that, those of us who are Christians, we will reunit in Heaven. If there is someone, either a Friend, Family Member or someone else, who is not saved, may this be the time that this person will repent of their sins and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Remember the special times and memories shared with Charles You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Thank God we will reunite with him in Heaven. Love and prayers, Tonya Sabrina Mitchell and Brian Lee Pace (Daughter of the Late Rev. George J. Mitchell and Ruth
