On the morning of March 25, 2023 Tacoma police responded to reports of a man with head injuries laying on the ground on the tree line in the 400 block of South Tacoma Way.
Hello Charles. Do you remember me? This is his daughter Kayla. He had a miraculous shift in his life after a near death experience. If you know much about our story, you’ll know that I would be the least likely person to forgive him. But I was blessed to have a friendship with him the last four years of his life.
Never judge someone without knowing what they’ve been through. He did many bad things but was a victim of way worse.
He was homeless because he had severe MS and couldn’t function in real society. One month before he died, I visited him in Tacoma trying to find him housing and help.
The night he was killed, he was trying to find a safe place to stay because the halfway house we found for him kicked him out thinking he was drunk because of how MS can cause severe speech slurring (the autopsy shows him clean as a whistle).
Jack, if you’d like more information and this story- I am happy to share.
Charles, if you’d ever like to talk- feel free to message me. I had my own pretty arduous journey healing from everything from the Mennonite brainwashing. I hope you’re well.
Kayla, I do remember you. Thank you so much for sharing. I’ve struggled with forgiveness for what I went through with my biological mother because of the Mennonites, and you moved me with your response. All the love and I will absolutely message you.
He was a vile man who I remember as kid from attending various Baptist and Mennonite churches during the late 90’s in WA
