Charles Freeman Jr., a resilient and loving father, husband, grandfather, and friend. Peacefully entered the gates of our Lord into eternal rest on March 7th, 2025. Charles Freeman Jr., better known as "Roach Bug, "Gump The Soul," or "King Of The Hill," back in the day, was born on July 7th, 1942, to the late Mrs. Genevieve Quarles Freeman and Mr. Charles Freeman Sr., who raised him to be a hardworking and no-nonsense young gentleman. Charles is also preceded in death by the love of his life, Beatrice A. Burruss, of 38 years, and three sisters: Perline Green (Ruther Glen, Va.), Margo Baxter (Alexandria, Va.), Clara Foote (Fredericksburg, Va.), and one brother, Harry Leroy Freeman (Richmond, Va.). And one sister in law, Irene Freeman.

Charles Junius Freeman Jr. was born and raised in Ruther Glen, VA, and received his education at Union High in Milford, VA. At an early age, he
joined Second Baptist in Ruther Glen, VA. Charles found his work passion in the masonry field with Boschen, Williamsburg Mill, Dunnington Construction, and later retired from Mitchport Builders. He also worked several years at the Meadow Horse Farm in Doswell, VA. Charles devoted his life to loving his family and friends and leaves behind many memories to cherish. Charles Jr. and his devoted wife leave behind twelve children: Carl Freeman (Michelle), Cedric Freeman (Jennifer), Michael Freeman (Daisy), Diane Freeman (Elliot), Shannon Anderson-Hill (Howard), Tonya Freeman, Sonya Freeman, and Charlette Freeman.

Charles had 21 grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren. A grandchild and best friend who had a remarkable love for him, Devonte Freeman (who called him Papa).
