Charles "Sonny" Sartin Obituary

    Charles   "Sonny"   Sartin,   aged   88,   of   Brinkley, Arkansas, passed away on the 15th of February, 2026.   Born   in   Palestine,   Arkansas   on   April   20, 1937, to Jeff Tallie and Jennie Soley Sartin, Charles lived a life full of love, warmth, and generosity. He became affectionately known as "Sonny"  to all who knew and loved him.


    His life was characterized by his devotion to family, friends, and faith. As a  man of many interests, Sonny found joy in life's simple pleasures   like   gardening,   hunting,   and   fishing. He had an exceptional love for cooking fish, and delighted in sharing with his family and friends.


   Sonny served his country in the Army and during his career  worked as a  skilled mechanic. He enjoyed fellowship with his family at the First Assembly  Of God  Church  in Brinkley.  His life was a testament to the power of faith, the strength of family, and the joy of sharing life's simple moments.  His compassionate spirit, unwavering faith, and love for life will continue to inspire all who knew him.


   Sonny was preceded in death by his parents, Jeff Tallie  and   Jennie   Soley   Sartin;   his   loving   wife, Mary Osborne Sartin, whom he cherished deeply in   their   years   together;   his   brothers,   Harry, Vernon, and Cecil Sartin; and his sisters, Martha Gunther and Katherine Carter.


Surviving  Sonny is his son, Chuck Sartin, and wife Angela of Forrest City; his  brother, Jeff Sartin,  and   wife  Peggy of Mount Olive, NC; his sister, Joan Barron of Hardy, AR; and his two grandchildren, Jacob Sartin and Brian Sartin, both of Forrest City, AR.
