Our beloved Charles (Chuck) Summers, passed away at age 54 on August 26, 2022 at the University of Georgetown Hospital in Washington, DC.

Charles Summers was born on May 19 ^th 1968 to Jean Robinson- Summers and Charles Edward Bullard. He grew up in Hernando, Mississippi, where his grandparents, Isabella and Harvey Summers, helped raised him. Upon graduating from Hernando High School in Desoto County, Charles enlisted into the United States Navy in 1986. He served with distinction and received many accolades for his dedicated service. Upon his honorable discharge from the Navy in 1992, Charles began a career in government service and his scholastic journey. He attended and graduated from Georgetown University with a Bachelor's Degree in International Affairs. He used his military experiences and educational knowledge as a Senior Watch Officer for the U.S. Department of Energy, Intelligence Operations Center in Washington, DC.

In his private life, Charles entertained family, friends and acquaintances with his playful wit, endless charm, and his infectious laughter. He loved the Lord and accepted Christ into his life when he was 13 years old. He had a deep appreciation for the Book of Proverbs, but one of his favorite verses was Galatians 6:7; "Do not be deceived; God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap".
