Charlie’s passion was fishing and camping and enjoying the outdoors with his family. He loved fishing the river. Charlie also liked to ride his motorcycle with his friends. He loved animals and volunteered at the Pueblo Humane Society. Everyone who met him loved him. He was quick to joke and laugh. He was down to earth, humble and lived with empathy. He loved to give to the homeless and would help anyone. His smile was infectious and would light up a room. He will truly be missed and never forgotten. He will always be in our hearts.
