Sumeer, Charles' Obituary
Charles Sumeer, 95, of Lutz, passed away on Tuesday, September 2, 2025. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He will be dearly missed by all who love him. Charles was a wonderful man. He loved life. He liked to dance, play dominos, dress up to go out, and garden.
Charles was always so pleasant and kind. He was quick to make a friend, but more than anything else, he loved his family. He married the love of his life, Ramkooari, and they built a life together that over 72 years included 7 children, 9 grandchildren, and 11 great grandchildren. He was a very dedicated husband and father, but he positively adored his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
He leaves a powerful legacy, and many heavy hearts, but his family is very grateful for the decades of love he gave them all. Charles was preceded in death by his parents, his son, Wilfred Sumeer and a grandson, Sharaaf Rahim. Charles is survived by his beloved wife, Ramkooari; his children - Joyce Bacchus and her husband Ishmael, Glory Rahim and her husband Abdool, Shirley Govinda and her husband Michael, Raymond Sumeer, Robin Sumeer and his wife Lorraine, and Indra Harrison and her husband Peter; his grandchildren - Ishmael, Shazeeda, Andray, Amanda, Theresa, Phillip, Alex, and Jessica; and great-grandchildren - Shazad, Sabia, Samiah, Sameria, Enzo, Zaud, Slade, Remy, Mia, Gerald, and Kara.
