Georgetown: Charles Philip Meador, 22, of Georgetown, unexpectedly passed into the presence of the Lord, on August 13, 2010. He was born on January 2, 1988, in Columbia, SC, to Philip Glenn and Leesa Peters Meador. Charlie was a 2006 graduate of Waccamaw High School, attended Coastal Carolina University, and was currently a student at the University of South Carolina where he was majoring in Mass Communications. He was a member of Georgetown Presbyterian Church. Charlie had a zest for life. His gift of language, both written and spoken, was revealed through his poetry, prose and on stage where he came alive. He also had a gift in the visual arts and expressed himself with unique drawings and photography. A true Renaissance man, he left this world a better place through his many creative works. Cozmo, as his Pappy loved to call him, filled his days with the things he enjoyed. He appreciated the beauty of God's creation. He loved animals especially his pets, Tony, George, Sophie and Nicola (Ninja, Little Cat). A history buff, he spent many weekends as a teenager participating in Civil War reenactments and was minoring in history at USC. Going to movies and playing video games were favorite pastimes, but mostly he relished the time with his good friends just "hangin out." Even though his time on this earth was short, he filled it and the people he loved with joy, love and laughter. Charlie, with his quick wit and bear hugs, will never be forgotten by those who knew and loved him. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Benford Leeson and Mary Ann King Peters, of Floyd, VA. In addition to his parents, he is survived by his brother, Edward Wallace Meador, and his sister, Sarah Payne Meador, both of the home; his paternal grandparents, Jack G. and Frances M. Meador, of Georgetown, SC (formerly of Roanoke, VA); his aunt and uncle, Karen P. and John W. Hale, of Roanoke, VA, his cousins, Jason W. and Michele D. Hale, of Salem, VA, and Judson W. and Crystal A. Hale, of Wirtz, VA, and numerous other family members and friends. Sign a guest book at www.mayerfuneralhome.com.
