Charlie "Sako" Sahagian, son of Khoren Sahagian (Armenia) and Alice Koyoumjian (Turkey) was born on December 16, 1960 in Detroit, Michigan. He was educated in Detroit and served in the United States Army Reserves (1978) at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Charlie was a gifted musician and entertainer (concerts, churches, parties, weddings, adult day care centers, volunteering.) He had a great love and respect for the elderly and for children. Charlie was a missionary to Uganda East Africa, Rwanda, Berundi, Peru and Mexico. He was a member of the Rock Four Square Church in Highland Park, CA and the Church of the Living World of God in Los Angeles, CA. Charlie is survived by his loving mother, Alice Sahagian, wonderful brother and sister-in-law, Johnny and Christina Sahagian, beloved nephews, Khoren and Aram Sahagian, and devoted friends and fellow missionaries John and Rosemarie Kizirian, Tony Nicholas, Kleon Dovan, Robin Hutchens and Vincent Di Paolo and all who could not be mentioned. Thanks to all. Charlie "Sako" Sahagian was truly a spirit-filled man and will be missed by all.
