He was born on July 25, 1940 in Staunton, IL to Frank and Margaret (Williams) Deak.
He married Carol Kolesa on February 12, 1960.
Chuck served his country in the US Navy from 1958 to 1961. He worked for Enron for several years.
He enjoyed mowing and would only take a break from it if a Saint Louis Cardinals game was on.
Chuck was also known to be very persistent; a quality known better by his close family as “stubborn”!
He is survived by his wife, Carol of rural Cisne, daughters: Cheri (Rob) Bowker of Clay City, IL and Connie (Donny) Jones of Queen Creek, AZ and a son, Carey Deak of rural Cisne, 8 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren and 3 step-great-grandchildren.
Per his wishes, the body will be cremated and there will be no formal services.
Hosselton Funeral Home of Cisne is serving the family with the arrangements.
