Charles C. Stennette, 89, of Seymour TN, went to be with Jesus on October 13, 2023. Charles was married to the love of his life, Gerald Lynn, whom he married at 21. Together, they had two children, Michael and Terry. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend to all who knew him.
He proudly served in the United States Air Force for 20 years. After his military service concluded, he joined the Civil Service where he continued to proudly serve his community and country for several more years.
Charles was a talented musician and was well-known throughout the military community during his tours of Germany and Korea. He was also an avid car enthusiast with a passion for building classic cars, traveling to car shows, and was actively involved in several car clubs. He was a family man who cared for his family, and most importantly, loved the Lord.
He will be dearly missed by his devoted wife, Gerald Lynn Stennette, their son, Michael (Constance) Stennette, his four grandchildren: Cara, Heather, Katie, and Tyler, and his four great-grandchildren whom he adored: Marley, Trenton, Ella, and William Lee.
Charles was preceded in death by his son Terry Stennette, who we miss terribly, and his parents: Louis and Clara Stennette.
