Charles Robert Beckett 77, of Huntington, left this life and went into the presence of the Lord on December 19, 2014. Born April 24, 1937 in Huntington, WV, he was preceded in death by his parents, Grace Woods Beckett and Charles David Beckett, his maternal grandparents, Daisy Kate Bossinger Woods and Rev.

Charles worked for most of his life in art sales, art framing and related paper products and retired from Prime Copy Plus in Huntington. He was a gifted photographer and a graduate of Ohio University. His primary goal in his adult life, however, was to better know Christ and to make him known to the people around him. Charles liked people. He always had an easy smile for others and a sincere interest in those he met. He will be dearly missed by his friends and family.In his memory, donations can be sent to A New Beginning Crisis Pregnancy Center, 925 8th Street, Huntington or Hospice of Huntington, 1101 Sixth Avenue, Huntington.
