It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Chuck, a deeply loved father, husband, and friend.

Chuck was one of the hardest working men you could ever meet. As a chef, he had a true gift in the kitchen—especially when it came to BBQ. Feeding people was his way of showing love, and if you ever sat down for one of his meals, you felt it. He took pride in what he did and in taking care of the people around him. A few years ago, Chuck suffered a stroke that forced him to step away from the work he loved due to lasting physical effects.

Recently, Chuck experienced a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. Despite efforts to save him, he did not survive surgery. His passing was sudden and devastating.

Our family is now facing the unexpected cost of cremation and planning a celebration of life to properly honor him. We are hoping to help cover these expenses and give Chuck the tribute he deserves.

If you’re able to donate or share this fundraiser, it would mean so much to our family during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for helping us honor Chuck’s life.
