September 1, 1939 — July 25, 2026

With heavy hearts and profound respect, we celebrate the life of Charles Sanders, who peacefully passed away on July 25, 2026, in his cherished Orlando, Florida home. Born on September 1, 1939, in Orlando, Charles lived a life rich with love, dedication, and an enduring spirit that touched all who knew him. Charles was the beloved son of Mary and Jason Sanders. He was preceded in death by his dear daughter, Zakiya Green, and his beloved son, Antione Green. His legacy of love and resilience continues to thrive through his four grandchildren: Shawn Green, Lashawn Green, Davion Green, and Tyana Green, who will forever carry his spirit in their hearts. In 1995, Charles married the love of his life, Carrie Green-Sanders. Their union was one of strength and partnership, rooted in a deep love that transcended time and place. Together, they shared a life filled with joy, moving from Carrie’s hometown of Newark, New Jersey, to Orlando, Florida, in 2005. This move allowed Charles to continue his passion for his trucking business, a testament to his unwavering work ethic and dedication. Charles's life was a testament to the values of hard work, integrity, and love for family. His gentle demeanor and kind heart were matched only by his commitment to providing for and nurturing his family. He found immense joy in the simple pleasures of life and was a source of wisdom and comfort to those around him. A service to honor and commemorate Charles's remarkable life will be held on July 25, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at the Good Life Funeral Home, located on E Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32817.
