Charles Michael Nagel

Charles Michael "Charlie" Nagel, age 80, passed away on October 14, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. Born on May 5, 1946, in New York City, New York, Charlie lived a life filled with love for his family, laughter, and cherished memories.

Charlie spent many years working as a branch manager in wholesale financing for BorgWarner, where he earned the respect of his colleagues through his leadership and dedication. A proud veteran of the United States Army, Charlie honorably served his country and earned the rank of SGT.

Charlie was a man who enjoyed life and the simple pleasures it offered. He loved hunting, had a passion for cars, and was an avid sports fan, especially when it came to his beloved New York teams. Known for his great sense of humor and quick wit, Charlie had a special way of bringing laughter and joy to those around him. Above all, family was the center of Charlie's life, and nothing brought him greater happiness than spending time with his grandchildren. He cherished every moment spent with them and took great pride in each of their lives. Charlie was also a member of St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Dallas, Georgia.

In addition to his parents, Charlie was preceded in death by his sister, Judith Nagel.

He is survived by his loving wife of 49 years, Cathy Nagel; son, Christopher Nagel; daughter, Cheryl (Brian) Kane; grandsons, Dylan Kane, Gavin Kane, and Colin Kane; granddaughter, Olivia Nagel; and a host of extended family members and friends.

A memorial mass will be held on Monday, October 26, 2026, at 12:00 PM, at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church with Reverend Fr. Adrian Pleus officiating.

Charlie will be remembered for his love of family, his wonderful sense of humor, and the laughter and memories he shared with those around him. His presence will be deeply missed, but the love he gave and the memories he created will remain in the hearts of his family and friends for years to come.
