Charles Christopher Correll, 10, passed away on Jan. 26, 2021 on Staten Island due to complications from COVID-19.

Throughout the next decade, he bravely endured countless surgeries and fought valiantly for every breath, all while spreading endless joy and light to his family and friends. Charlie loved being with people and wanted to be a part of everything - whether it was quietly cuddling with a parent, or interacting with a room full of people.
