Charles Wayne Lindsey

Charles graduated in Humble, Texas from Charles Bender High School. He attended Tyler Jr. College and Stephen F. Austin on a football scholarship. He received many draft letters to play with professional football teams. Due to major knee injury, he was unable to accept the offers.

After College he entered the oilfield life as a rig leveler, working overseas and in the states. Later in life, he worked for Harris County where he retired. Charles was a member of The Ark Church in Conroe, Texas. He loved to travel, the outdoors, and spending time with his family.                                                                                                  

 Charles is preceded in death by his parents, sister, and brothers. He is survived by his loving wife, Linda (Christal) Lindsey, his children: LeeAnne Sumrow (Heath), Matt Lindsey (Cheryl), Lorie Lindsey (Chris Tinsley), Tara Merchant (Wade), Jason Richards (Ryann), his grandchildren: Paige Hubbard (John), Chelsea Ebert, Ashton Lindsey, Jayce Lindsey, Morgan Sumrow, Micah Merchant, Slade Merchant, Creed Merchant, Kelsi C Richards, Van Richards, great grandson: Weston Hubbard, Sister: Linda Sue Martin, Sisters-in-law: Janie Lindsey, Susan Page, Rhonda Kay, Aunt: Jeannie Williams, Mother-in-law: Shirlene Christal.

With deepest gratitude and appreciation, the family would like to thank the Bayou City Hospice team for their love and compassion.  Along with all the friends and family that have been by our side and extended their love and support.

Charles lived his life as a very loving, attentive, and positive man; I leave you with one of his quotes, “Don’t let someone’s bad words change your good feelings”. 

 We love you so much sweetie, you are healed now! We will see you again.
