Charles David Ellifritt

Charles Ellifritt, age 64, of Belton, Missouri passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, March 19, 2023 in the home he shared with his wife of 35 years Laurie Ellifritt.

He is survived by his wife Laurie Ellifritt of Belton Missouri; sons Charles, Jr. and wife Robin Ellifritt, Mathew and wife Michelle Ellifritt; daughter Naomi Ellifritt and partner Jacob Beingessner; eight grandsons Zachariah, Austin, Elijah, and Noah Ellifritt, Jude Beingessner, Blake Richeson, Lucas Gloyd and Elliot Beingessner; three granddaughters Alexis Ellifritt, Evelynn Beingessner, and Vivian Gloyd; sister Tracey Ellifritt-Compton; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Charles Ellifritt was a momma-loving, hard-working, devoted father, loving husband and big family man. He enjoyed family dinners, playing games and laughing with loved ones, driving his truck, country music, staying in cabins with his wife in Pigeon Forge, camping and being outside, playing on the floor with his grandchildren and being ornery to make everyone smile. He was a comforting hug and listening ear to many. He loved family and being needed. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
