He spent four years in the Air Force, stationed at Wurtsmith AF Base in Michigan and was a member of the 142nd National Guard Field Artillery and was deployed in Desert Storm. He retired as Sergeant E-6 from the service.
He was a hard worker, employed by propane companies in NW Arkansas for a number of years, and before retiring worked for Beaver Lake Aviation in Rogers. Charles is survived by his mother, Helen Epperson; daughter, Ashley Lee of Bella Vista; his son, Brooks Epperson (Sammie) of Bella Vista; sister, Ann Barnett of Arizona; two brothers, Bob Epperson of Arizona and Bill Epperson (Randi) of Elkins, Arkansas; four grandchildren: Maddox and Sam Lee, Charlee Epperson, Landon Anderson, as well as nephew, Wes Edens (Melanie) of Glendale, Arizona; and niece, Susan Edens of Clarksville, Arkansas.
