He was reunited with the love of his life, his wife of 55 years, Annie Ashworth, who preceded him in death. He was also preceded in death by many brothers and sisters and his beloved son, Dale Ashworth.

Charles was the owner of Electrical Supply located in the old Cambria section of Christiansburg, which he started in 1972.

Charles had a pure heart of gold, helping his family, friends and his community by his various ways of giving. He had a true love of softball, which showed through the sponsorship of many teams for several decades. He also enjoyed baseball and never missed watching his favorite team, the New York Yankees.
