The family of Charles Frank Culver, 65, of Sugar Land, TX, will celebrate his life in a private service on Friday, July 10, 2015.


Charles was born April 26, 1950, in Abilene, TX, to Thomas R. Culver, Jr., and Betty Lilian Pierson Culver. He died July 2, 2015, at his home in Sugar Land, TX. Growing up, Charley was the second oldest of the four "burr-headed Culver boys!" While in high school, he earned the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts. He was a 1968 graduate of Cooper High School in Abilene, TX, and he received both his BBA and MBA from Baylor University, where he was an active member of the Kappa Omega Tau Fraternity.

He retired in March of 2015.
