Charles Ezell, who took a Choctaw County restaurant and turned it into a chain of 35 restaurants around the South, died Tuesday of complications from COVID-19.
The 77-year-old had been sick for two weeks previously but had appeared to be getting better before his condition quickly deteriorated last weekend, his nephew Agnew Hall said Friday.
“He went to the ER, they gave him oxygen and sent him home, and he appeared to be doing fine,” Hall said. “Then Monday morning, things changed, and he did not make it. It was quite a shock.”
