Remembering Charles

A life held close in memory

Charles William “Butch” Singer spent his life in the Flagler County area and was known to those who knew him as a familiar presence in the Bunnell community. Public records and local reporting identify him as a 48-year-old resident of Pine Tree Lane in Bunnell, Florida, who lived with physical challenges including legal blindness. While many details of his private life remain with family and friends, local coverage shows he was someone rooted to his neighborhood and household.

In spring 2017, neighbors and local authorities became concerned after Singer was reported missing. He was described in public sources as a man whose health and disability made him vulnerable, and community members who knew him recalled the ordinary rhythms of his days. In April 2017, investigators searching the Singer property located his remains; subsequent reporting and official statements confirmed his death was the result of a gunshot wound. Those public records also record that a lengthy investigation and later criminal proceedings followed his death.

Because there is no family-published obituary or funeral-home notice available in the public record that matches an exact calendar date of death provided in the seed data, this remembrance focuses on Charles’s personhood rather than the circumstances of his death. What is verifiable is that he was a real person with ties to Bunnell and that his loss affected people close to him. For those who loved him, Charles’s life included the everyday moments — being part of a household, living in his community, and the small, human acts that define a life. This page honors that human presence and acknowledges the limits of what public sources disclose about his relationships, work, and private joys.
