Charles W. Trull

Charles W. Trull rode a long ride ending on October 21, 2026, at 91 years of age. He was lovingly known as “Charley”. He was born on January 13, 1935, in Post, Texas to the late Weldon Parr and Naomi Trull. He was married for 45 years to Joyce Seabolt Trull. They married on Memorial Day Weekend and often laughed that they could not remember the exact date. They blended their families to include Rusty Trull, Randy Trull, Ronnye Trull Parma, Monette (Cissy) Schneider, Michael Long and Marvin Ray Long. Charley was co-owner to Trull Conservation Contractors in Abilene, Texas until later retiring and relocating to Paris, Texas after he and Joyce enjoyed many years traveling in their motor home thru much of the U.S. Aside from his love of his extended family, he enjoyed fishing, boating and camping, along with his love of his AA family and his accomplishment of overcoming his addiction and counseling so many others in beating alcohol addiction. He was a proud member of AA and changed the lives of others in Abilene for 35 years.

In later years, the family “adopted” Janice Carol Edwards. She has done so much to be Charley and Joyce’s local family and loved one. Charley and Joyce opened their hearts and arms to so many people, including Carol and Bruce Edwards who considered him “Dad”. Charley and Joyce were quick to fill a void to anyone needing them in their life. He was Dad, Pops, or Grandpa to so many, you would forget it wasn’t by blood or birth certificate. He loved to play slots and celebrated his 85th birthday in Louisiana with his loving family. He had a heart of gold and would give you the shirt off his back. He loved telling his “dad jokes”. We still cherished them if it was the first time or the 21st time to hear them! He prided himself in leaving a smile on your face! Charles is survived by his wife, Joyce and his loving children Rusty Trull, Randy Trull, Ronnye Trull Parma, Monette (Cissy) Schneider, Mike Long and grandchildren Leah Parma, Jacob Parma, Nocholas Schneider, and Caitlin Simmons and several great grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister, Patsy McClellan and her family.
