Charles Robert Collier

Charles Robert Collier went home to be with our Lord and Savior on January 13, 2026, in Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee. He was born on November 11, 1956, in Orange County, California, to Marilyn Elizabeth Garner and Herbert Stan Collier.

Charles spent his youth in Michigan, where he graduated from Taylor Center High School in 1974. In 1994, he made Maury County, Tennessee, his home, where he lived for the past 31 years with his family.

He is survived by his loving and special friend, Mary Milligan, who remained faithfully by his side until his passing. He is also survived by his son and his wife, Nick and Jessica Collier, and his grandsons, Nathan Gray and Cason Collier. His sisters Jennifer Maly Warner of MI and Mary (Kerby) Suhr of AZ as well as several other siblings.

Charles spent many years working for General Motors, where he was known for his strong work ethic and dedication. Outside of work, he had a lifelong love of computers and enjoyed tinkering with electronics, always curious about how things worked and eager to fix or improve them. He also loved metal detecting, hiking and traveling. He appreciated time spent outdoors and the opportunity to explore new places. In recent years, he and Mary enjoyed traveling and went on several trips together. Charles will be always be remembered for his quiet strength, his adventurous spirit, and the love he held for those closest to him.
