He moved to Tennessee in 1972 and later started Deshler Air Conditioning in Hendersonville. He later moved to Gallatin and was the owner of Deshler Mechanical Contractors, Inc. for over fourty years. Charlie was a self taught man and an avid reader. He thought learning through books was the best way to learn. Charlie very much enjoyed hunting and target shooting when he was younger. His biggest joy was his farm and his projects he did while living on the farm. He was an avid pet lover. Charlie was a member of the Tennessee Beekeepers and Wilson County Beekeepers Association, a member of several local gun clubs in Tennessee, a member of the NRA, and he helped build many churches in and outside of America. As anyone who ever met Charlie can attest, Charlie loved to talk to people, never concerned about their status in life. He would tell stories about all the things he was knowledgeable about, from his life experiences and many hours of reading. However, the thing he loved to talk about the most was his love of Jesus and winning people to the Lord. He would always ask folks, “Is there any reason why you can’t accept Jesus as your savior right now?” Charlie will be missed by his family and friends, and all that knew and loved him.
