Charles Matthew Sheerin was born to Charles Sheerin and Angela Colletta in Staten Island, NY on October 29, 1969. He and his family moved to Las Vegas, NV where Charles graduated from Clark High School in 1987. That same year, he met Bridget, whom he went to high school with and later married on December 8, 1990. The two settled in Las Vegas, NV where they moved into their first home on Sierra Largo Drive in Summerlin. Charles and Bridget were so in love, they couldn’t contain it, so they made another person with all that love. In 1995, Charles and Bridget welcomed their first child, Austin Charles on August 19, 1995 followed by Tyler Matthew a short fourteen months later, on October 9, 1996. While Charles and Bridget loved being surrounded by an abundance of family, they had a calling for a different climate. In the year 2000 the four journeyed from the desert to the mountains of Glenwood Springs, CO. Here Charles worked as the store manager of the Sherwin Williams in Aspen, CO. Two years after settling into their home on Grand Avenue, the family of four became five on June 3rd, 2002 when Cassandra Susan was born. The family remained in Glenwood for 2 years before they would relocate 18 miles west to the town of Silt, Colorado. Charles remained an employee at Sherwin Williams, however in 2002, he took on a new title. Being the friendly, outgoing character he was, he flourished as a Sales Representative for the duration of his career at Sherwin Williams. Charles had a special place in his heart for the many customers he served throughout his time in the Western Slope. Charles and Bridget raised their three children in Silt, where Austin and Tyler finished high school and Cassandra wrapped up seventh grade before they would move to Arizona. Due to a job promotion Charles received the family would begin the next chapter of their lives returning to the desert. Bridget and Charles settled in Surprise, AZ in 2015 where Charles continued in the paint industry as a Protective and Marine Sales Representative. Charles’s ambition, compassion, curiosity, determination, and problem solving skills all contributed to his success in a new area of sales. People like Charles are one in a million. He saw obstacles as opportunities to grow and learn. His positivity, optimism and hard work translated to his career, the gym, and around the house. Often referred to as “beef cake” by those closest to him, Charles found much happiness in the gym. That being said, you could often hear him saying, “God gave you one, take care of it until it’s done.” Certainly, he did just that. Not only was he consistent in maintaining his health, he never failed to show love to his family and friends. Charles was a devoted son, brother, husband, uncle, father, and friend. Family was his everything to him. His love as a son, brother, husband, uncle, father, and friend, was never a question. Known as the funcle, he valued even his extended family as his very own. Charles loved hard. His kind heart, genuine soul, and selfless attitude continuously brought those he knew closer to him. He strived to make those around him smile, and was always successful in doing so. Charles was an honorable man, who strived to be better in every aspect of his life on a daily basis, and constantly inspired those around him to do the same. He is known for lighting up every room, through his unique sense of humor and love of music. Music was often his language, it ran through his veins. Charles shared his passion with everyone he knew, wherever he was, music was playing. Charles’s life was certainly a soundtrack. His bittersweet symphony will continue to play through those he is survived by, his loving wife Bridget and three children, Austin, Tyler, and Cassandra, as well as his mother, Angela, and his brother, Shawn (Jennifer), and a number of other beloved family members. Heaven gained an angel as Charles passed, he will be dearly missed. May he rest in paradise. Services for Charles will be held at Surprise Funeral Care on October 24, 2020 at 1 PM.
