Charles S. Oakley

09/26/1967 - 10/01/2020

Charles was a great man and a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and son. He loved everything about his life; football, fishing, his motorcycle, his work and most importantly his family. He worked in the HVAC/R industry for 25+ years, and passed his knowledge onto many others including his sons. He was co-owner at Chapman's Full Service Maintenance for majority of his career. He had a love for football, in particular the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Longhorns, that was unmatched by many. He enjoyed drives on his Harley motorcycle and fishing in his free time. He loved watching his kids grow and become young adults. From football games, band events, color guard events, choir concerts, graduations, and weddings he was always there. In the turn of events he came down with pancreatic cancer at the slim age of 51. We were given 2 more birthdays with him and he fought an extremely hard battle, but eventually succumbed to the complications of the cancer. Charles will be forever missed but never forgotten and it is never goodbye but in fact it is see you later.
