Charles was married three times and knew the sorrow of losing two beloved wives. Through every season of life, he remained a devoted father to five children and stepchildren, all of whom he cherished equally, and he took great joy in his five grandchildren.
He had a lifelong love of music. He played with many church bands, Gone Fiddling Again and also enjoyed playing for seniors in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
He is survived by his brothers Paul and James, children Clayton, Arielle, Stephanie, Micheal, and Sherry. And five grandchildren Kai, Isabell, Alaina, Charlotte, and Edward.
He will be greeted in the afterlife by his parents, Joyce and Mitchell Adams, his wife, Colleen, his stepson William, and his second wife Vicky.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Yakima Humane Society.
