Charles Kevin Mize was born on February 1, 1962 in Waco, Texas. He moved to Meridian as a teenager where he had spent the rest of his life. He prided himself on being a third generation farmer. Throughout his life you could have found him building fences, underneath a hood, trucking down the road, watching hog shows, and at the occasional chicken fight. Mizo was truly a jack of all trades and a self-proclaimed outlaw. He definitely made his own kind of impression on this world, his legacy will be carried on and be told often.

Left to cherish his memories are his daughters, Dana Dowell and husband, Kody, of Indian Mound, TN, Sara Mize of Meridian; longtime girlfriend, Debi McKamie of Meridian; sister, Sharon Ash and husband, Tom, of China Spring; niece, Kayla Griffin and husband, Carl, of Houston; great-nephew, C.T. Griffin of Houston; numerous other relatives and friends.

Preceded in death by his mother, Margaret Ann Gillaspie Mize; grandparents, Clarence and Jewel Billings Gillaspie; cousin, Tracy Stevenson; and best friend, Max Kimbrough.
