Despite all the joy that I have witnessed in my life, no life is complete without pain.

Right now I have been going though the most painful experience of my life. My brother Charles Wesley Mann died April, 18 2007. He was 24 years old.

The circumstances of Charles death are still uncertain. He was on his way to his new job, hoping to receive a promotion. On his way he rode BART to San Francisco when he collapsed on the train. The medics were unable to resuscitate him. We suspect that his death was related to the fact that he was deathly allergic to peanuts. However we are not sure if this is true because he normally was able to sense the presence of peanut oil.

Charley accomplished many things during his life. He was a track star and basketball player for the Amador Valley High School. He became a graduate of Brandies University and received his master in Finance after going abroad to Brazil.

He was a great, outgoing son, coach, mentor, Christian, friend, lover, nephew, grandson, and more whose outspoken presence touched many people.

The following flash presentation was made in his memory.
