It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of our friend and co-worker Charlie Vessey on January 31. Charlie had been with us as a repair technician since 2012, but he was so much more. He was a wonderful co-worker with a great sense of humor and the ability to bring people together. Those of us who knew him well will remember his wisdom and his kindness. As a fan of heavy music, Charlie would also often work "in the trenches" before live shows. In doing so, he became close friends with some of our most celebrated endorsers, and we always knew we could count on him to be a great representatives with these high profile clients. His skill, his caring, his ethics, and the way he always wanted "to do what's best for the company" helped to define the high standards that we all try to uphold every day. If you knew Charlie, you'll know what a personal and professional loss this is for us all. He will be missed.
 
Sorry for your loss. I know Charlie worked in the repair department for Daddy's Junky Music (where I worked from '86 - '98) so even though I never met him I know he had to be an awesome person because that's all Daddy's hired.

To elaborate, the repair department at Daddy's Junky Music was voted (by the NAMM folks) to be the best in the country for years. Charlie was part of that so I know he was high-caliber.
 
I didn't know him personally but he did help me when my original AxeFxII needed service. Seemed like a great guy and I'm sure it's a great loss to his family, friends and coworkers. Condolences to everyone feeling this loss, may God bring you peace and comfort during this difficult time.
 
To Charlie's family, friends, and loved-ones: Words cannot express my shock and sadness to learn of your father's passing. Our paths crossed when he was helping me get my guitar processor fixed. He learned that I volunteer in my church's band. I learned that he was part-time in the ministry. We exchanged kind messages after he learned that my wife was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, last April. I appreciated his words of encouragement. Charlie was a true prince, and the way he took care of me - a complete stranger, in our working relationship, is something I will treasure and admire. He set the bar for awesomeness and servanthood at Fractal. He will be missed.
 
I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of someone who was so obviously loved by his family and his Fractal family.
