Hollywood, FL – Charles Adames, a beloved father, husband, and grandfather, passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. Diagnosed with stage 4 lung, liver, and brain cancer last year, Charles fought through multiple treatments, including brain surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Despite his strength and determination, his condition worsened in July when the cancer spread to his bones, leading his family to make the difficult decision to place him in hospice care.
Charles, known for his infectious smile and larger-than-life personality, was a cherished presence in the lives of everyone he met. His love for music, particularly his talent for playing the bass guitar, created countless memories as he played in a band with his brother and cousin. His creativity extended to his passion for trains, which led him to build a personal train room filled with intricate model setups.
The family has set up a GoFundMe page to raise funds for his final farewell, aiming to reach a goal of $40,000. So far, $464 has been raised, with contributions from several generous individuals, including an anonymous donation of $300, Jalie Dalia with $34, and Jayden Meyer with $50. The fundraiser, organized by his daughter Lizzie Adames and family member Tania Jeanpaul, seeks support to provide Charles with the proper goodbye he deserves.
Jessica Lee shared her heartfelt condolences on Facebook, writing, "To say this is devastating is an understatement! Charlie was a force to be reckoned with… I’m at a loss for words right now this family has been my 2nd family all my life and they need all the love & support we can give!"
Lizzie Pepper, Charles’ daughter, expressed her gratitude, responding, "Thank you, I love you."
Charles Adames will be remembered for the joy, warmth, and humor he brought into the lives of those around him, and for the music that filled their hearts. The family is humbly asking for support during this difficult time to honor Charles with the farewell he deserves.
