Charles Chuckles Ruben Tate

Our dearest brother and son, Charles Ruben Tate (Chuckles, Chuck, Chux ) passed away very suddenly and peacefully on Friday morning, September 25, 2015. Chuck was born on November 16, 1960 in Springfield, Massachusetts. He is preceded in his passing by both sets of grandparents and his father, Colonel Daniel H. Tate. Chuck is survived by his mother Sara B. Tate and two brothers, Daniel H. Tate Jr. and Richard Steven Tate.

Chuck received his high school diploma from Fairfax High School, Fairfax, Virginia and his A.A. in Aviation Technology from Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale, Virginia. For over twenty five years, Chuckles most loved occupation was as a customer service/ramp agent for Continental Airlines at Dulles, Houston and Baltimore; and with Frontier Airlines and most recently Swissport in Denver.

Chuck moved to Nederland, Colorado in 2000 and lived with his brother Daniel for fifteen years. The move to Colorado was a major event in his life and he became an avid fly fisherman and camper. Chuck brought so much selfless love to this world and would "give the shirt off his back" to anyone in

need of time and attention. He loved to also read and research conspiracies and was an amazing videographer of his journeys in the world.

He was a bright and shining human with compassion and tenderness for all.

A celebration of his life will be held at Crist Mortuary in Boulder, Colorado on Friday, October 2nd at 11 a.m.
