Charles Edward Carthage Jr. “Goosie Boy” son of Charles Edward Carthage Sr. and Betty Ann Carthage was born on July 27, 1972 in Chicago, Illinois.

As a child, Goosie Boy attended the Chicago Public Schools and enjoyed going to church on Sunday mornings to listen to the choir sing.

Goosie Boy had a smile that would lighten any dark room. Those that knew him knew he was very loyal and protective of his family.

Goosie Boy had a love for motorcycles and animals. He owned 2 motorcycles and a multitude of animals (2 snakes, 2 birds, 1 rabbit, 1 hamster, 2 alligator snapping turtles, 8 cats and 16 pit bulls).
