Nearing the 1990s, Valentine remained the only living son of Charles, who had two older children, both born from Manson family members as well.

The eldest Charles Jr., reportedly committed suicide while on a vacation trip. Throughout his life, he could not fathom and move away from the actions that his father committed, especially since he carried his father’s name.

Charles’ second son faded from public attention and nothing is known about him. However, records show that he possibly passed away sometime in his adulthood.

As an adult, Valentine knew that he would never be too far from his father’s legacy, so he approached the media to clear the air. In one of his last interviews and public appearances, he declared that his grandparents were his real parents.

He adopted a different name and refused to be associated with Charles Manson in any way, destroying any letters that Charles sent him from prison, but apparently remains close to his mother.

Since then, very little has been heard about his life.

It’s known that Valentine Michael married and he has children though due to his lack of any public appearance, details about them are unknown, except that he realized how important it is to stay as a family and take care of a child.

In 2017, Charles Manson passed away from complications brought about by colon cancer. Following his death, at least three people came forward declaring that they had a copy of his last will.

Valentine did not participate in these events, having no interest in anything that has to do with his biological father. The three people who contested for his body and estate were all connected to Charles in some manner. The case was eventually won by Charles’ grandson, Jason Freeman who is the son of his eldest, Charles Jr.
