Charles Henry Hamilton, Jr., age 68

Charles Henry Hamilton, Jr., of North Little Rock passed away on February 26, 2020. He was born in Little Rock, Arkansas to the late Charles Henry and Martha (Lopez) Hamilton, Sr. 

Charlie graduated from Catholic High School for Boys in 1969.

Charlie also found joy in collecting clever gadgets and playing video games with the children (young and old) in his life. He worked tirelessly to improve the well being of family, friends, and neighbors who all benefited from his generosity, industriousness and intellect. 

Charlie leaves behind his wife, Brenda Goodman of North Little Rock; his children Nathan Hamilton (Youn Ok Lee) of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Matt Hamilton (Camille Freeman) of Staunton, Virginia, Jesse Lawley of North Little Rock and Charly Thorn of North Little Rock; grandchildren Amos Hamilton, Henry Hamilton, and Juniper Hamilton; siblings Patty Gustafson (Phil), Connie Allen (John), Guy Hamilton, Mike Hamilton (Julie), and Chris Hamilton (Pattie); many extended family and friends.

    Charlie always had a smile on his face and was ready to help anyone at any time. He was definitely one of the truly good guys.

    Connie, Patty, Guy, and family, I’m so sorry to hear about Charlie. I haven’t seen him in many years, but always remember your sweet mother and family fondly from coming after school to play. Please know you are on my mind and in my prayers.

      Thank you for your kind thoughts Lee. I remember the days when you came to play😊 Mother loved to tell the story about the first time Charlie asked if Lee could come over to play and how surprised she was that you were a little girl😍
      Happy memories!

    Mike, Guy and family – I am so sorry for your loss. I think back to years ago when we gathered at Mike and Julie’s house to throw darts and how much fun Charlie was to be around. He will be missed.
    My prayers go out to Charlie’s entire family, especially Nathan and Matthew.

    I worked with Charlie for years at Orbit Valve. He was always one of my favorite people. He was so nice and always had a great smile on his face. I am so sorry for the loss.

    Worked with Charlie at orbit. Remained friends with him after. Charlie was a crazy guy who loved to laugh and always have a good time. He always bragged about his two sons and how proud he was of them. We loved Charlie and will miss him. So sorry for your loss. May God be with you 🙏❣️💔💔

    I met Mr. Charlie many years ago at specs. During these short sporadic encounters, I learned so much from this man. Charlie was one of the most kind, caring and loving gentlemen I’ve ever met. How big his heart was truly left a huge impression in my life and on my heart. He is the epiphany of what EVERY man on this earth should be like. I wish more people would folllw his lead. The love that he showed to Ms. Brenda is one like no other; Every woman needs a man like Mr. Charlie! The love that you both have for one another is something I only hope and wish to find. It makes my heart smile to know you had him, even if only for a short time. You 2 showed me the true definition of soul mates! Ms. Brenda, I know how hard this is and will continue to be for you and I will be praying for you and the rest of the family to get through difficult time. I love you!
