Charles Coker Jr., 58, of England, Arkansas went to be with the Lord Saturday, July 23, 2022. Charles was born in Little Rock, Arkansas to the late Charles Coker Sr and Alberta Johnson Coker.
Charles was a welder by trade and most recently worked at the England Fitness Center. He was an avid runner, participating with the Cabot Country Cruisers, in the Arkansas Road Runners Club of America Ground Prix series. He received the Honorary Iron Runner award in 2018, for which he was extremely proud. After retirement, he took up photography, so he could be with his ''run'' family.
He lived by the mottos: ''Believe in Yourself'' and ''Never Give Up''.
Charles is survived by his wife of 34 years, Tina Roberts Coker of England, AR; his daughter and center of his universe, Cyntanna (Layne) Hawkins of Moody, AL; along with extended family and friends.

We were sad to hear this news about Charles. It was always fun to see him and Tina at races. We always knew that no matter how bad we might look when we were running, we would always look good in the pictures that Charles took of us. Maybe it's because he gave off good vibes that made all of us around him look better and feel better.

7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.
