Charles "Chuck" Bailey

March 5, 1940 – October 9, 2026

Charles “Chuck” Bailey passed away peacefully, surrounded by love, leaving behind a lifetime of memories, laughter, and a family who will miss him dearly.

Chuck shared 67 wonderful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Betty. Together, they built a life filled with family, friendship, adventure, and countless memories.

Chuck and Betty enjoyed traveling in their RV, spending many winters in Texas before eventually making Arizona their winter destination. Their summers were filled with travels and adventures, enjoying the freedom of the open road and the friendships they made along the way.

Chuck appreciated the simple pleasures in life, including his afternoon cocktail, which he famously enjoyed from his trusty travel coffee mug. It was one of those little things that made Chuck who he was and will always bring a smile to those who knew him.

Above all, Chuck loved his family. He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Betty; his son Dave and wife Tammy; his son Dan and wife Susan, and their children Jake and Michelle; and his son Doug and wife Tracy, and their children Calvin (partner Emma) and Maggie (partner Jake).

Chuck leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, treasured memories, and a life well lived. Although he will be deeply missed, his family will carry his memory with them always.
