  Notes	From findagrave.com: Charlie Robert Minter Jr. was born in Freeport, Texas on December 22, 1973, to Lockie Vernon Minter and Charlie Robert Minter Sr. He went to be with his Lord and Savior on Sunday, March 24th, 2013 at the age of 39. He was preceded in death by his best friend and father, Charlie Robert Minter Sr. Charlie is survived by his wife of eight years, Kristine Vining Minter, and son, Zane Robert Minter of Richwood; mother, Lockie Minter of Freeport; mother-in-law, Becki Vining of Richwood; brother, Tony Lopez and wife, Misty of Angleton; sister, Angie Shoemaker and husband, Mike of Angleton; sister, Charlotte Kelly and husband, Nathan of Angleton; special GG, Loretta Hammett of Midland, Georgia; father-in-law, Gray Vining and wife, Teresa of Rosharon; brother-in-law, Rob Vining of Austin; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins. Charlie was a wonderful husband, father, son, brother, nephew, uncle, cousin and friend to many. He worked for Dow Chemical Company as a project scheduler. An avid sportsman, Charlie loved fishing, hunting, surfing, and anything outdoors. His four-year-old son, Zane, was the light of his life and he cherished every moment he could with him. He was fond of debating religion, politics and gun control, but above all he loved his God and his family. He loved life and it showed in everything he did. Charlie’s energy was infectious and his humor was an amazing bright light to anyone in his presence. Charlie was diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer in September of 2011 and given a short-term prognosis. With Kristi by his side, he confronted the disease with unwavering resolve. His mainstay was his faith in Jesus Christ. He said in the beginning of this challenge that if his determination could bring just one person closer to Christ that it would be worth everything he went through. Before his death, he found comfort knowing that he had accomplished his goal. His memory will live on to inspire others to live life with determination, love, faith and hope. The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses of the Gerson Clinic in Tijuana, Mexico, Angleton Danbury Medical Cente, and St. Luke’s Hospital in Houston, as well as the nursing staff of AMED Home Health. Special thanks to Dr. Pedro Cervantes, Dr. Nizar Charafeddine, Dr. Juliet Holder-Haynes and Dr. Paul Wells.
