Charles "Bubba" Wesley Suggs Jr, 71, of Evansville, IN went to his eternal home July 12th, 2022 surrounded by his loving children. Charles was born December 22, 1950 to Charles Sr. and Edna McNeal Suggs. He was the oldest of 13 children, and he took that title very seriously. Charles graduated from North High School where he played on the football team. He joined the United States Navy where he served until a injury sent him home. He attended University of Southern Indiana where he developed a interest in heating and cooling systems as well as engineering. Charles was employed as a maintenance supervisor at Alcoa. After 29 years, he retired only to move on to Carver Community Organization. Charles was also employed with channel 25 and the city of Evansville. Though he was "retired", he continued to do various jobs for people in the community, regardless of their ability to pay.
