I used to hang out with Charlie at his parent’s house with his brothers Jeff and Gary. I had not talked to Charlie since he had been married. He will be missed. I am so sorry that I did not find this out sooner so I could have gone to his Funeral. RIP Charlie Baskett
Family and friends have lost a bright shining light with Charlie's passing, but the glow will never be diminished in our hearts. He was always smiling (BIG), full of life, and so happy. As a youngster when the cousins got together, his handicap never held him back. He participated in and played just as hard as the other cousins, and thoroughly enjoyed their activities, as did they. I never ever heard him complain. He was so family oriented and derived so much pleasure at get togethers for family. That huge smile proving this. My how he loved Janet. What happiness he shared with her. The last time I saw Charlie was at the Nanny Baskett family reunion held in Buffalo Gap, Texas in 2009. He and Janet were having such a good time. Again that big smile as proof. I believe the trip was their anniversary trip. My memory of Charlie that I will carry with me will be the twinkle in his eyes and that great big smile. Although his physical presence is no longer with us, our memories of his big heart filled with love and his big smile will live forever with us. Rest in peace my loving nephew, Charlie.

Very special friend he was! I was his honey#2 @ my job in Sachse! Forever in my heart!
The picture of Charlie, Karen, Gary, and Jeffrey that appeared in Facebook brought back wonderful memories of when our family used to visit with Bill (Bub) and (Little) Bett and their children, first in Quanah and later in Garland. I remember so well how Charlie, even as a young boy, acted as though he had no disability. He had one of the sweetest, kindest hearts of anyone I've known. The last time I saw Charlie was at a Baskett reunion in Granbury. He and Bub came for it, and we had the nicest visit. I don't think I ever saw him without a big smile on his face. We were so thankful when he met the love of his life, Janet. John and I first met her at a Garland hospital when Bub was there for a treatment. You can tell by what Janet has written that they were still just as much in love as they were when she first moved into Charlie's life. My heart hurts for you, Janet, for Bett, and the other siblings. It's so hard, and he was way too young. Love you, Shady

Oh Charlie how I will miss you. I was there walking in the Dust with your Mom trying to make you come. We have had fun along the way. I remember when Gary was being born we went and brought you to Sour Lake where Grandpa would get you a bottle. Needless to say you gained weight there. I was so glad when you found Jan. What a joy for you. Rest in peace my sweet nephew. Mary and Bo
