Chuckie brought so much happiness & love to our "family"!  We all met him shortly after Steve & Kacy met.  He quickly became a cousin to Kacy, Janelle & Kelsey, and I guess a sort of "nephew-cousin-son-brother-friend" to me, a very welcomed addition to our family!  🙂
His kindness overflowed & his jokes and witty comments kept us all in "crack-me-up" hilarity!! 😂
My personal favorite memories of him; our white-elephant Christmas Eve's!!! 
 Awesome, fun times!  I will miss him being there.     
I have no doubts.... Chucky is walking with Jesus and seeing all of God's beauty through new eyes!  😊
Thank you Chuckie, for all your sweet smiles, kind words, and constant faith in our Lord. We will miss you tremendously.
Anthony & Kerry Goodwin



Chuckie, you were a wonderful gift from God and a blessing to all of us.
You were kind, loving, inquisitive  and a caring brother.
You had an infectious smile which I will miss.
You will live forever in my heart.

Love you, until we meet again🙏
Aunt Sandy

Writing farewell to our son Chuck is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Words cannot describe the sorrow and loss that my wife and I are feeling, but I will try.

Chuck was a wonderful, sweet boy. Even as a baby, he had a calm temperament and as he grew into a little boy, always took things in his stride.  

Being the youngest, Chuck was always special to his sister, Wendy. Although he was 5 years younger than Wendy and had many physical handicaps he would always help her out all he could due to her physical Cerebral Palsy handicaps. Both being handicapped, they could easily relate with each other. As Chuck grew from a boy into a teenager, I could see the man that he would become - strong, steadfast and assured. He loved pugs and school to the point that he did not want to consider himself handicapped. He was always competitive, but humble. It was such an endearing quality. 

Chuck and I had some wonderful times together. The two of us would go for long walks together, movies and eating out on the weekends. He always had many questions about things that he wanted to know about. It was those conversations that I will never forget. I was watching a teenager grow into a young man - a young man with so much enthusiasm and with so many plans for the future. Not only was he a loving son and brother, he was a kind and giving friend. Someone who was always a pleasure to be around with a real desire to help others. He was a gentle soul, unwavering in his patience. 
To have lost Chuck is heartbreaking. It has come as such a shock to us all. His life was far too brief.

Sherry and I wish to express our heartfelt thanks to all those who have given their support, compassion and love throughout this very difficult time. 

I know in my heart that he would not want us to grieve for too long. Rather, Chuck would want us all to remember the good times we all shared with him. Goodbye, my son. You will live in our hearts forever. 

Chuckie was my favorite nephew. I will always remember the times we walked with each other in Ahwatukee, hiking the mountain in east Mesa, the few times he stayed over with me, watching movies on my big screen TV, enjoying his company at our Christmas and Thanksgiving times together. He always spoke with a soft voice and was always courteous around everyone. He was smarter than given credit for and was always wonderful company to be around. I will miss him now but look forward to the day I will join him in the company of Jesus and God's new heaven and new earth to come. He is in a much better place now, having a renewed body and a renewed mind. He lived a life joyful and happy around others, and is now enjoying a new life filled with the presence of others who are fortunate enough to be there with him and for those destined to join him in the future.  I will always love you, Chuckie, in my heart!

Chuckie was a very energetic young boy, full of energy, and always a pleasure to be around. He grew into a handsome man. Our family loved him and will miss him, especially at our annual Christmas gathering.  We praise God that he knew Jesus personally and is no longer blind or hindered in any way.  Maybe he's enjoying my Dad's harmonica playing and lots of hugs from my Mom and family who preceded him in death. Perhaps he's dancing with the angels!
