Dad , My heart has been so broken since you’ve be gone . My days & nights are so long now . I try to keep busy with your little nurse Jayden ( as you call her , because she was always helping take care of you at Becky’s) but everything we do or see brings back so many memories of you . Just knowing that we no longer can make new memories with you breaks my heart even more . I know you are no longer in pain and hurting but I’m being selfish and just want you here with us . Please watch over us and keep us safe . I will look for any little signs you give us to let us know you are here with us . I love you Daddy ❤️ one day we will see you again . Love you always and forever Ronnie

Chuck,
You were such a great brother n law and always good to me. You knew what family meant and always kept me laughing . I loved your sarcasm and you always were the charmer. Mr Dapper , lol I could always smell you coming as you ALWAYS made sure you you had your cologne , hair and outfit on point! We will sure miss you here on earth but I know you are dancing with the angels in heaven , most likely Kate has already found you and I can picture Sammie running up to you and wrapping her arms around you to welcome you to heaven and show you how well she is doing there and I know that will make your heart smile . Im glad you are no longer suffering but I am sad to see you go. Say hi to ” Big Poppa” (my daddy) for me and all our other family & friends. Until we meet again. Fly High.

Love , Kimmi

I remember Chuck as a kind soul. I have fond memories of Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings with the family at his house. We shared a lot of good times. I enjoyed the bowling nights with the family as those days will never be forgotten. He’s always was a go getter and has raised a beautiful family and was very dedicated to his family he has built a legacy for his family to honor. He will always be remembered as a Great Son, Brother and Father to us all ❤️ You will always have a place in my heart, You are forever Loved ❤️

I have known Chuck for the last 20 or so years. We didn’t see each other much , but we did stay in touch through the years. I was very sad to see that he had passed away. I had been trying to reach him by phone for the last few months. My heart goes out to all of you. He was a great guy. May he Rest In Peace.

The Zeigler Girls,

You will always be family. I know that Samantha ran to Chuck in heaven and that makes me smile. Heaven just got more valuable and shines brighter.

Chuck was a great man, a great Dad, and a great friend. Not just that, but he knew, without a doubt, how much his girls and their families loved him.

Chuck was a gentle giant. A man of few words with a huge heart, strong hands, and a giving spirit.

My heart swells with sadness for your loss, may the memories begin to be greater than the heartbreak you feel.

I love you all. Jennifer (Jackson) Fenner – Sami’s Mama
