Charles, affectionately known as "Punk" and by his CDL handle "Crazy Horse," was a straight shooter with a knack for fixing just about anything. Whether armed with a hammer, a screwdriver, or his sheer determination, he could repair whatever came his way. He was the quintessential "Mr. Fix-It," always willing to lend a hand. A big kid at heart, Charles loved racing sprint cars, deer hunting, and sharing adventures on four-wheelers—often scaring his family in the process. He was a devoted family man who cherished every moment spent with his loved ones. Charles’ dedication to teaching his son and grandsons how to deer hunt and plant food plots correctly, all while supervising from his tractor, reflected his hardworking and loyal nature. Tough, stubborn, and headstrong, he was admired for his strength and deeply loved for his unwavering loyalty to family. Charles is survived by his children, Christy Wigley of Olive Branch, MS; Cindy Newman and her husband Jeff of Southaven, MS; and Charles Holden Pearson, III, and his wife April of Holly Springs, MS; his grandchildren, Amber Wilson and her husband Jonathan, Caitlin Fesmire and her husband Michael, Charles Holden Pearson, IV, and his wife Rachel, Mary Alexis Weakley and her husband Mathew, Callie Newman, and William Blaine Wigley; and his great-grandchildren, Charles Holden Pearson, V, Carter Pearson, Everett Wilson, Wyatt Wilson, Attley Wilson, Presley Kate Fesmire, Davey Fesmire, William Knox Weakley, and Mathew Slade Weakley. He also leaves behind his siblings, Diane Green and her husband David, Shane Pearson and his wife Paula, and Marion Pearson. He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles Holden, Sr., and Winnie Smith Pearson. Expressions of condolences may be left on his Tribute Wall at www.colemanfuneralhomesh.com.
