Charles Linwood Whitehurst, 51, passed away in his sleep Wednesday, January 31st, at his home in Wilmington, NC.

Charles worked in Information Technology for Corning, Inc, New Hanover County DSS and NHRMC. He was known as “the gadget guy” and for his quirky sense of humor. Everyone could count on him to fix their computer problem and leave them with a good laugh.

One of his greatest joys in his life was spending time with his grandchildren.
