Charles Perry Everitt was born August 22, 1931, to Charles “Dock” Everitt and Audra Perry Everitt in Crystal Springs, Mississippi. Charles “Chuck” moved with his family to the Crossroads community where he grew up with his siblings; Evelyn Everitt-White, Paul Everitt and Ruth Everitt-Gray. Charles graduated Crossroads high school, where Crossroads Baptist Church is now located.

On January 20, 1951, Charles married the girl he fell in love with, the love of his life, Myneka Everitt. From that union, they had 2 wonderful boys: Robbie and Richard Everitt. Unfortunately, Charles lost his love, Myneka on June 27, 2013. He lived his days with Myneka on his heart. When he visited her gravesite, he placed special selected stones from Alaska, their last trip together.
When Charles graduated high school, he enlisted into the Air Force while the Korean was escalating where he worked for the Pentagon for the NSA, working as the lead role IBM in the data processing.
