Charles David Posey, age 92, of Hackett, Arkansas, passed away peacefully at his home on October 15, 2025. Born on August 18, 1933, in Muldrow, Oklahoma, Charles was the cherished son of Clarence and Mary (Corbell) Posey.

Charles proudly served his country in the United States Air Force, demonstrating the values of service, integrity, and dedication that would guide him throughout his life.

Over the years, Charles made a lasting impact on many young lives as a high school superintendent, coach, and teacher. He had a gift for leadership and a genuine care for his students and colleagues alike. His passion for education was rivaled only by his love for the outdoors and sports. Whether hunting, fishing, or cheering on his favorite teams, Charles found joy in the simple, meaningful moments of life.

Above all else, Charles was a devoted husband, father, and friend. He married his beloved wife, Jo Ann (Mannan) Posey, with whom he shared many beautiful years. Honest and hardworking, Charles leaves behind a legacy built on strong values, quiet strength, and unwavering love for his family.
