Charles Edward Hurst, Jr.

Charles Edward “Charlie” Hurst, Jr., 54, of Bluewell, WV, passed away on Sunday, June 21, 2020 at Roanoke Memorial Hospital.

Born on July 28, 1965 in Bluefield, he was a son of the late Charles Edward Hurst, Sr. and Linda Sparks Hurst. He attended Bluefield High School, Bluefield State College and Concord College. He was an avid sports fanatic, but he loved playing baseball, golf, and going fishing. Many hobbies were lost though as he had continuous dialysis for the past 22 years. He was the owner and operator of Hardware Charlie's for many years in Bluewell. He was a very proud father and recently became a grandfather. He loved his son so much and he was extremely happy to become a “pop pop”. He was loved by so many and everyone always enjoyed talking with him. He was extremely funny and quite the jokester, from pulling pranks to telling stories he could always put a smile on your face. Charlie was an astonishing man and he fought hard for his life until the end. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him or had the chance of meeting him.

So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. John 16:22

Survivors include his son, Nick Hurst and Kayla Brown and his granddaughter whom he adored, Cambria Hurst of Charlotte, NC; a sister Sandra Lynn Vaught of Roanoke, VA; niece, Sarah Skeen of Roanoke, VA; and great niece Lillian Skeen of Roanoke, VA.

It was Charlie’s wish to be cremated with a time for friends and family to honor his life. Friends may call on Friday, June 26, 2020 from 6:00-8:00 PM at Cravens-Shires Funeral Home in Bluewell.
