Charles was born March 31, 1939, at the family home in Atlanta, Arkansas to Carl and Lizzie Christine (Williams) Peace. As a boy, he went to local schools in the Atlanta, AR area, before moving to Alvord, TX, and graduating from Alvord High School in 1957.
After high school, Charles attended welding school in Ohio, which would pave the way for a lifelong career in the industry. Charles was enlisted in the United States Army and served his country for two years before returning back to work as a private contract welder. He then went on to work for Devon Energy and various other oil companies in the area, retiring at the age of 73 from Encana Oil & Gas, as an inspector.

He was an avid outdoors man, and in his free time, Charles enjoyed fabricating sculptures, and working in his yard and on the family land. Charles made sure to make every Christmas special, not only for his family, but the whole community, taking time to decorate his property, serving hot cocoa, chili, and "hosting" Santa. He will be remembered with love and appreciating for being a devoted husband, father and a "super grandfather".
He is preceded in death by his parents, brother Lewis Peace, sister Carlyen Peace Hall and brother-in-law James Hall.
