He was born on Thursday, September 14, 1950, in Sugar Land, Texas, to Charles W. and Marilyn (Bourg) Cheaney. He was a 1969 graduate of Marian High School in Bel Air, Texas. Charles retired as a General Manager from Total Building Maintenance, following several years in the janitorial services industry.
Charles was an avid reader and animal lover. He enjoyed coaching his sons’ baseball teams when they were young and was a Texas Rangers fan. Bowling was also one of Charles’ favorite pastimes in his younger years. More than anything, he had a great love for his family and was a “family man”. He always wanted everyone to be happy and to get along and made sure of it. Charles took control of a room when he entered it by his presence and his strength. Charles will be greatly missed by all who loved and knew him.
He was preceded in death by his father, Charles W. Cheaney; and two brothers, Carl Cheaney and Timothy Cheaney. Charles is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Carla (Bluffin) Cheaney; three sons, Toby Cheaney of Little Elm, Texas, Clayton Cheaney of Plano, Texas, and Nick (Effie) Cheaney of Anna, Texas; three grandchildren, which he adored, Calvin, Olivia, and Jeremiah; his mother, Marilyn Bourg Cheaney of Sugar Land, Texas; siblings, Carol Hopkins of Richmond, Texas, Christopher Cheaney of Sugar Land, Texas, Clint (Mary Ellen) Cheaney of Katy, Texas, Terry (Mary) Cheaney of Corpus Christi, Texas, and Jennifer Listi of Sugar Land, Texas; and several nieces and nephews.
