Family and friends mourn Charles Faggart, who died in jail last month, remembering his kind personality and community impact.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A day of mourning as family and friends come together to put Charles Faggart to rest. 

Faggart, who was 31, passed away in April just three days following an “incident” with nine corrections officers at the Duval County Jail, which left him hospitalized in critical condition.

His attorney said he had been brain dead since the day of his injuries.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office stated on social media that eight corrections officers and one corrections sergeant are currently under active investigation and have had their corrections authority temporarily revoked.

People close to Faggart, such as Pedro Amador and Gina Bade, wish for him to be remembered for his kind nature and the love he received from so many within the community.

“There are so many people here, people I haven’t seen in a decade, so that just tells you how much of an impact he made on people,” said Amador. “People that haven’t seen him recently are still coming here to pay their respects and hopefully carry on his legacy.” 

Friends of Faggart told First Coast News he will be missed and loved by so many people in the community.

“He made everybody around him laugh. If you were having a bad day, you would go to his food truck to get some cheesesteaks and he would tell you some jokes and cheer you up,” said Amador. “He was almost like an escape, you know,w from the real world, so you know, it’s a shame what happened to him, but we have those great memories to remember him by.”

“He had such a genuine heart and cared so much for everybody even if he didnt know them, and I think that’s just the epitome of who he was,” said Bade. 

JSO says they are continuing to work with the FBI and the United States Attorney’s Office to gain a complete understanding of the facts and circumstances that led to Faggart’s death.

“He was a really golden dude that we don’t have a lot out there, and what happened to him was wrong, and this whole situation is really, really devastating, but I think everybody should know that he really was a genuine, good person,” said Bade.
