Charles Raymond Bellows

WATERVILLE – Charles Raymond Bellows, the man, the myth, the legend known to some as “mastermind”, of Waterville, was born June 17, 1981, in Waterville, to parents Darla (Carpenter) O’Neil and Charles “Chuck” Bellows. Charlie led an adventurous life, ever since his early years running through the Southend of Waterville. At a young age he learned of his talents as a prolific writer, poet, visual artist, graffiti artist and often shared these gifts with loved ones and comrades. He has an insatiable laugh, he was hilarious and always the biggest presence in any room. He was bold and intelligent. He was a lyrical artist and wrote many verses with hundreds of songs; many on YouTube. He was loyal and defended people when they were treated unfairly. He taught others to be strong and never give up. He was determined and loved hard. In spite of Charlie’s hardships, Charlie always remained positive and it reflected around him deeply. Charlie’s loved ones knew him to have a warriors mindset and the heart of a lion. He was the strongest, most fearless and loyal person one could meet. Even if you disagreed with him, Charlie commanded respect. In his pastime, Charlie enjoyed spending time with his loved ones, or in deep thought, often in solitude, or in nature with his beloved. While he never achieved mainstream success, Charlie was arguably the greatest hardcore rapper to have deep roots in the pine tree state. Charlie stood for love, truth, and loyalty; for language, truth, and logic, and his legend will never die! On Aug. 18, 2024, Charlie was tragically taken from us.

He was predeceased by his father Chuck and mother Darla where he now happily resides next to in heaven. He leaves behind three children; Justice, Charli and Mason, siblings, Israel, Antelsy, Michael and Elizabeth, stepfather Mike and many extended family members and a tremendous amount of friends. A Celebration of Life will be held at Governors in the Ballroom on Sunday, September 22, 1-4 p.m. The formal funeral service dates are TBD.
