Visitation will begin at 12 noon, followed by a service celebrating his life at 1:00 pm, on Saturday, March 7, at Kansas City Church, 7700 North Church Road, Kansas City, MO 64158. In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to his children’s Special Olympics team, the Northstars (https://www.northstarsbooster.org/in-memory.html).

Charles was born March 27, 1970, in North Kansas City, MO, the son of Bill and Linda (Cole) Brittain. His parents preceded him in death. He was a very active member and trustee of Kansas City Church. Charles was an avid lover of music, road trips and sports; but no team heard his cheers more than his children's Special Olympics team, the Northstars. He could be found rooting on the sidelines of every Northstars event year-round.

Survivors include his wife of 17 years, Erica; children Danan and Megan; step-father, David Ayrton; step-sisters, Rene, Kathleen, Tracy, Christian and Shannon; Erica's sister, Jill (Stephen) Holman; several nieces, nephews, other family members and countless friends. He will be greatly missed by all.

Visitation will begin at 12 noon, followed by a service celebrating his life at 1:00 pm, on Saturday, March 7, at Kansas City Church, 7700 North Church Road, Kansas City, MO 64158.
