Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

While I did not know you personally, it’s very easy to read reflections written by your family and colleagues and be able to tell what a great man you were. You raised your children right and seemed to be a good husband as well as a good officer. Heaven has a special place for people like you. I pray for peace and comfort over all who suffer this loss. Lord please cover this family throughout their lives and continue to walk with them and let them know you are with them every step of the way.

Daddy,
Today marked your 3rd anniversary of you being called to glory. I hate talking to your headstone but at least you have a place of rest for your physical body. Monday, Officer Alston asked where’s your father I haven’t seen his silly self in awhile. I instantly teared up and said you passed come Wednesday three years ago. He teared up and immediately said I’m so sorry baby, I didn’t know, I didn’t know!!

Daddy the pain is so real as when on 9/20/20 after 4:15 pm Eisenhower called and said Mrs. Norton I’m truly sorry to have to tell you that your husband and father has passed. I was driving to go to the Riverwalk with mom, Aislinn, and Diezel. I pulled over off river watch into the hotel parking lot screaming!! Mom was trembling, repeatedly saying OH GOD, OH GOD!! Aislinn was crying and trying to control Dewee because he was trying to get to me.

Daddy I love you!! A father’s love is the first love a daughter experiences and witness the interactions fathers with their mothers. Then you raised me within the Church of Christ and taught me my faith and keeping God first!! It’s through faith that I’m still here because all I want to do is be a family again and have my father back!! Depression, PTSD, and suicidal ideation are all real feelings especially with me going through all that I have going with work and my health. But doing anything drastic would not bring joy to my Lord and Savior, You, or our family.

I’m just going to continue to hold unto God’s unchanging hands and making you proud are the things I hold onto when I feel like I’m ready to be with you and its not the natural way of doing it. I must fight the good fight as you did!!

I love and miss you forever….see you soon!!

Daddy,
You are forever missed, nothing is the same anymore. My heart doesn’t beat the same anymore. Oh how I miss and need you!! You and I were two peas in a pod. I can still hear your laugh and your voice. I reflect on your teachings and I’m thankful for you instilling Faith in me. Sometimes I want to scream, why MY DADDY!! But due to my faith and teachings, God had this day already ordained. Most days are very hard, today makes 34 months that the Lord called one of His best soldiers home. I had you for 38 years, too short, but very grateful for the time we shared. I’m still working on the goals and projects we shared. I want to continue to make you proud, I will finish them. I love you so much daddy, I wish I could just hug you and see you ride your motorcycle one more time before letting you go physically. You are the best father due to your love for God, family, and all of the communities you were apart of during your military and police officer years. I will forever be proud to call you My Father, I love you!! Continue your eternal rest and may we be together in time!!

Pops mane! I still can't accept this at all! I have no one to talk to like we talked while we both were on duty. Nothing is the same anymore

Charles Norton was a great man and a great example of the type of legacy we all should want to leave. Everyone loved Norton. He was like a father to me. I can still here him starting his conversation with me with "hey son". His death was such a shock to me. I miss him daily. We worked together for years. I never thought that my last time talking to him would be him letting me know he's being admitted to the hospital. 8 just knew he would be right back. Love and miss you sir.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Richmond County Sheriff's Office. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!
