Charles Emmett Caldwell was born on April 8, 1945, in Coldwater, MS to parents Emmett and Ruthie Mae Caldwell. At the age of 9, Charles professed his faith in Christ.

Charles proceeded in death by his wife, Wilma Wooten Caldwell in 2004 and a bonus daughter, Monica Smith in 2019. On May 23, 2020, God called Charles home. He was a charismatic, funny, excellent provider, hard-working entrepreneur that was ALWAYS exploring or working on the next business venture. He was very caring and willing to help anyone in need.
