Charles David Slayden went to his eternal home to live in the presence of his Lord and Savior, Jesus, on April 28, 2020. Charles was born in Roxton, Texas on September 3, 1932 to Eldon and Hassie Slayden.  One of thirteen children, Charles completed school through the 8th grade and then left to help with the family farm and family filling station.  In 1961, Charles joined Campbell’s Soup Company, where he served faithfully for 28 years.

Charles was a quiet, soft spoken man who loved his family and friends deeply. You could often find him going out of his way to help others in need.

Charles is preceded in death by his wife, Donna Slayden. He is survived by his children, Paul and Janet Slayden of San Antonio, Lori and David Holy of Dallas, Mark Carr of Pittsburgh, Billy Robinson of Paris, and Chad and Cindy Robinson of Paris, as well as eleven grandchildren and one great grandson.

Graveside services will be held at 11:00 AM Friday, May 1, 2020 in the Restland Cemetery in Roxton, Tx. with Rev. Billy Norris officiating. Honorary pallbearers will be Kenneth Billings, Runt Dill, Bill Slayden, Jimmy Slayden and Thomas Roach.

The family wishes to thank the staff of Legend Healthcare, Dr. Stephen Burns, Dr. Arthur Tijerina, and their staffs, for the excellent care given to Charles.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Southside Baptist Church in Charles’ memory.
