Charles Edward Feuss

Charles Edward Feuss, known to all as Charlie, peacefully passed away at the age of 69 in his home on Saint Simons Island, Georgia, on November 1, 2024. He was born on September 10, 1955, in Lexington, Kentucky, to Dr. Charles David Feuss, Jr. and Dorothy Gilmore Feuss. He was raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he attended Cincinnati Country Day School (Class of 1972). He went on to attend Emory University, where he earned his undergraduate degree in 1976 before completing his law degree at Emory's School of Law in 1980. It was during this time at Emory Law that Charlie met his future wife, Linda, with whom he would share a beautiful life.

Charlie and Linda raised their two children, Charles "Chas" Herbert Feuss and Anne Hart Feuss, in Atlanta, GA, Minneapolis, MN, and Chapel Hill, NC. Charlie was a renowned labor and employment lawyer, holding partnerships with some of the country’s most prominent law firms. After Linda’s retirement, the couple moved to Saint Simons Island, GA, where Charlie transitioned into a new role as a labor relations specialist at Koch Industries, concluding a distinguished 44-year career.

Throughout his career, Charlie earned a reputation for his intellect, insight, and commitment to his work. But it was in his personal life where Charlie truly shone. Described by those who knew him best as a "renaissance man," Charlie was an engaging and curious soul. His creativity and passions ranged from the culinary arts to painting and crafts, and he brought joy and laughter to all those around him. His quick wit, sense of humor, and loyalty made him a true friend and a delightful companion. Charlie was an incredible father and husband, and he cherished his family above all else.

Charlie was preceded in death by his two sisters, Amelia Margaret Feuss and Susan Lee Feuss, both of whom held a special place in his heart. He is survived by his beloved family: his wife, Linda Upsall Feuss, and their children, Chas and Anne. Charlie’s legacy will live on through their love and the memories of a life well-lived, filled with laughter, kindness, and a deep appreciation for the world around him.

A memorial service to celebrate Charlie’s life will be held at Christ Church on Saint Simons Island at 3:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, November 7, 2024. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that those wishing to honor Charlie’s memory do so by donating to the Humane Society of South Coastal Georgia.

As he would have wanted, we remember Charlie with joy, warmth, and a smile on our faces, just as he left us every day of his life.
