Help Chuck Franklin's Family Through This Loss

On April 28th, 2025, we lost someone truly irreplaceable—our Dad Charles “Chuck”Franklin. His passing was sudden, heartbreaking, and far too soon. Chuck was an adoring father to his 4 son’s Charlie, Romello, Makiah and Tavarion . His absence leaves a void that words can’t begin to fill.

Chuck wasn’t just a friend—he was a constant. A steady, joyful, compassionate presence in so many lives. He had a way of making everyone feel seen, valued, and making you laugh. Whether through his laughter, his loyalty, or the simple kindness he offered so freely. His deep love for his children and granddaughter radiated from him in everything he did. He was one of the good ones—the best ones—and we will miss him more than we can express.

The loss of Chuck is immeasurable. He was someone who simply cannot be replaced, and the impact he made will be felt forever. As we try to make sense of a world without him, we hold on tightly to the memories, the love, and the joy he gave so generously.

We’ve created this GoFundMe to help with his burial fees and his children as they face this unimaginable chapter. Funds raised will go towards his burial and whatever support can ease the burden on this beautiful Children as they navigate life without Chuck.

Thank you for being part of this circle of love—for donating, sharing, or simply holding Chuck’s memory in your heart. If you knew him, you know just how deeply he cared. Now, we have the opportunity to show that same care to the people he loved most.
