Charles Lee Cannady, 70, passed away October 18, 2019. He was born January 30, 1949, in Butte, MT. He was adopted when he was seven days old by Gladys (Maxine) and Elbert (Kenny) Cannady (both deceased). Charles was born with many complications and was never expected to live past his teens. His parents never gave up hope; so, with love and many trips to hospitals and special schools across the country, Charles was able to beat the odds for 70+ years. They moved to Grand Junction, CO, twenty years ago.
He is survived by cousins, Shirley Pate (Ronald) of Grand Junction, Linda Robinson of Rifle, Tim Cannady (Jean) of Justin, TX, and numerous uncles and cousins. Julie White has been his caregiver for the last sixteen years, and when his mother died, became his Legal Guardian.
Charles loved all those whom he met in the Community and he appreciated the kindness of others. Thank you to Eagle Ridge of the Grand Valley for your loving care and support.
Interment will be at Fort Logan, CO.
