Charles E. Richardson

Charles Edgar Richardson, 86, entered Heaven and saw Jesus face-to face for the first time on November 13, 2026. He loved God, his family, and his friends. Chuck was known for his warm smile and firm hugs. It will take Eternity for him to hug the family and friends he has longed to see and all the new friends he will make. Chuck was married 63 years to the love of his life, Marilyn. He was deeply loved by her, their children Deborah (Rex) and Peter (Carianne), his grandchildren Alexandra (Shaun), Chase, and Finn, and his great grandchildren Bexley, Fletcher, and Beau. Chuck grew up on a farm with a family he adored. His parents Gilford and Ruth and siblings Bill, Margaret, Kathy, Judy, and Nathan were part of Heaven’s welcoming party. His remaining siblings Barbara (Wayne) and Joel (Debra) brought him joy right to his final days. God’s church was Chuck’s passion. There he developed friends who became family. He loved serving through leadership, teaching, and caring for people in any way they needed. He excelled at showing the love of Christ through his character, words, and actions. He certainly heard “Well done” on November 13. We will miss him, but we grieve with hope. 

Please join us at Northside Church on Thursday, November 19 at 11:00 a.m. to celebrate Chuck’s life. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Jude Children's Hospital or Northside Church Building project.
