Charles Joseph Bowser, 60, of Pass Christian, Mississippi born October 7, 1960 , to Mrs. Joyelyn Dedeaux Bowser and Mr. Admiral Joseph Bowser in Pass Christian, Mississippi. Charles departed this earthly life Friday, June 4, 2021.

C.J, as he was affectionate known by family and friends attended Pass Christian High School and later completed his General Education Degree (GED) through Job Corps in South Carolina. While attending Job Corps, he obtained trades in both carpentry and auto mechanics. C.J. had a natural gift of repairing things, especially cars. His love for cars and repairing them brought him great joy, but his love for cars was only a small piece of who he was.

Charles is remembered as being a fun, loving, and very affectionate person. His affectionate and outgoing personality was very contagious and would naturally draw people to him. In his spare time, when he was not repairing cars, C.J. enjoyed fishing. There was something about the quite stillness of the water and CJ could stay there for hours, casting his line. In addition to his past times, CJ also enjoyed singing.
