Charles Dennis III

Charles “Chuck” Joseph Dennis III, a resident of Dallas, TX, a native of Vacherie, LA, was born on September 1, 2000, at Woman’s Hospital in Baton Rouge, LA. Charles III was the precious son of Charles Jr. and Meeka Meggs Dennis.

Charles was baptized into the Catholic faith at an early age at St. James Catholic Church under the priesthood of Father Louis Timothy Oubre.

Charles “Chuck” Dennis III was educated in St. James Parish Public School System. He was a graduate of St. James High School, Class of 2018. Chuck was awarded a full scholarship from the world-renowned Southern University’s Human Jukebox Marching Band, in addition to receiving TOPS University Award from the state of Louisiana. After joining the Jaguar Nation, he graduated from Southern University A & M College in Baton Rouge, LA, in 2022, acquiring a B.S. in Accounting.

Charles was employed at Eagle Materials, as an accountant in Dallas, TX. Prior to joining Eage Materials, he was employed by Ernest & Young U.S. LLP Firm.

Chuck had a passion for music! At an early age Chuck was introduced to the saxophone by his dad. That’s when Chuck found his niche. He had been playing the saxophone since the 5th grade. Although he was taught by many teachers, his love for music was driven into him by his father. The two of them would often battle each other playing their saxophones in the living-room, but his dad would often get short winded. The two of them would practice marching drills, musical scales, and share secrets about their experiences with The Human Jukebox.

Chuck was also the jokester of the family! He would send funny videos all day and every day. When momma would fuss at the others, Chuck would eliminate the tension in the room with a joke. The bond he shared with his sibling was unbreakable. Chelsea and Joy were his road dogs, and Camrin and Shane were his protectors.
