Well-Respected Real Estate Agent
March 3, 1960 – Feb. 19, 2025
Charles Gregory Horn, age 64, of Montgomery, died unexpectedly on February 19, 2025, leaving an irreparable hole in our family and community.
Born on March 3, 1960, during a snowstorm that crippled New York City and required a patrol car escort to Jewish Memorial Hospital, set the scene for Charles’ dramatic entrance into the world. A prelude to the powerful impact he would come to make in his following years of life.
Raised in The Bronx, alongside his two brothers and three sisters, it is here that he attended Visitation Grammar School and Church and received his sacraments. His education was furthered as a student of Cardinal Spellman High School in Manhattan, followed by undergraduate studies at Manhattan University and an MBA from Pace University’s Lubin School of Business, which he completed in 1989.
Professionally, Charles stood as a senior manager of AT&T/Lucent Technologies for 20 years before eventually discovering his passion for real estate. Charlie was a well-respected real estate agent for 23 years, in which time, he breathed life into Keller Williams Cornerstone Realty and The Horn Group.
During this period, Charles moved to Montgomery where he quickly met and married the love of his life in September of 1995. Shortly after taking on the role of a devout husband, the best years of his life were close to follow, welcoming their sons in 1996 and 1999, respectively. A shining father, the two sons he leaves behind are a reflection and testament to the incredible person Charles was.
When Charles wasn’t closing deals, advocating for a local cause, or raising political awareness, he was best found behind his drum kit, bringing any establishment alive alongside his bandmates. There wasn’t a dance floor his two feet didn’t meet as he was an unparalleled dance partner. His honesty was admirable, his support unwavering, and his smile, humor and infectious laugh to be remembered as one that could light up even the darkest of rooms. Like his music, his presence was bold, passionate and unforgettable.
Charles is survived by his beloved wife of nearly 30 years, Robin Higgins-Horn; his two sons Russell Higgins Horn and Justin Connor Horn; sisters Patricia Fitzgerald (John) and Donna Horn; brothers Christopher Horn and William Horn (Maureen); ten nieces and nephews, 15 great nieces and nephews; 7 cousins and countless friends and colleagues who will forever cherish his memory.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Ernest and Patricia Horn, and his sister, Suzanne Horn.
Family and friends are invited to pay their respects, and offer support to his beloved family at the viewing, which will be held on Thursday, February 27, from 6-8PM, at Hillsborough Funeral Home.
A Funeral Mass will be held in honor of Charles on Friday, February 28, at 11:30AM, at St. Charles Borromeo, 47 Skillman Rd, Skillman, NJ. Following the mass, a graveside service will take place at Holy Cross Burial Park and Mausoleum in Jamesburg, NJ.
All are welcome to join in remembering and celebrating his life.
Charles’ sudden departure is an immeasurable loss, but his legacy of love, leadership and music will live on forever in all who loved him. ■
