This memorial website was created in the memory of my father, Charles Alberry Stroup Jr. who was born in Mississippi on March 10, 1944 and passed away on February 06, 1981 at the age of 36. He was survived by his wife, Virgie Beth Stroup, Three children: Charles Evans Stroup, Regina Vivian Stroup and Angela Gail Stroup, His parents C.A. Stroup and Goldie Lee Stroup, Two brothers Herman George Stroup (Tommy) and Billy Gene Stroup. Two sisters  Jamie Lou Calder and Nellie Sue Potts. He was in The United States Army for six years, stationed in Germany. His rank was an E-4, he was discharged from the Army with a Honorable discharge. When he returned to the states he starting driving a truck, that was his love- to be behind the wheel of an eighteen wheeler. He loved Truck driving songs such as Teddy Bear and Phantom 309. His family remembers him best as the Mississippi Kid (CB Handle). He will live in our hearts forever.

       Light a Candle    

Light a candle for those we mourn.
Into a new life they will be born.
Do not look for them at the gravesite.
They are somewhere else radiating their beautiful light.
They have gone to a new world where there is no darkness, no pain.
Their light and essence will always remain.
Light a candle for those who have left this mortal place.
They are free to travel through time and space.
When we think of them, they are near.
When we sit in a beautiful garden. Their voices we hear.
When we listen to a divine symphony,
We close our eyes, their faces we see.
Light a candle for they have not really gone.
With each flickering flame, in your hearts they will always belong.....
