Charles Edward Barber Obituary

It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved Charles Edward Barber (Gainesville, Florida), born in Miami, Florida, who passed away at the age of 86, on March 29, 2026. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Charles Edward Barber to show support.

As we bid Charles farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Charles is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He is survived by: his children, Janet Wood (Joe) and Chris Barber (Kendra Halliwell); and his stepdaughters, Michelle Davila, Christine Davila-Mir (Jonathon), Denise Davila-Izurieta (Mauricio) and Jacqueline Davila (Shawn French). He is also survived by three grandchildren, eight step-grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, one step-great-grandchild and several extended family.

In Lieu of flowers donations can be made to the American Civil Liberties Union, http://aclu.org.
