Charles Wilkes Obituary

Herbert Wilkes Beloved Father, Papa, Brother, and Friend was born on May 19th, 1958 and passed away on Saturday, October 16th, 2010. Chuck was a Humboldt county native who loved Humboldt county living. He loved driving his logging truck more than anything else. He enjoyed all of his fellow truck drivers. The conversations and waves driving down the road always made has day. He also enjoyed visiting local casinos, bowling, and going on coca-cola classic runs. He thought of everyone he met as a friend. He was the kindest and most generous man I have ever know. He would give you the shirt off his back or the $20.00 he did not even have to give. He also loved his family very much and really enjoyed having his family gathering. His annual Easter barbeque and Christmas dinner were the get-togethers he enjoyed most. He was proceeded in death Sherman Humprey and Candy Waterson. He is survived by his mother Dorothy Humprey, partner; Angela Pearce, siblings; Rita Peppers, Laura and Allen Edwards, Danny and Sharold Stevens, and Lenore Stevens, daughters; Sarah , Tabitha , Sabrina , Amanda , Natasha , and Vanessa, grandchildren; Grayce, Melissa, Angela, Riley, Corbin, and Estrella. Chuck is the type of man that will be missed by all who knew him. He will also be greatly missed by his best friend Bill Calkins and long time family friends Launa Salsbery and Jeremy Campbell and their families. A Barbeque celebration to honor his life will be held on Saturday October 23rd at the Rio Dell Fire Hall at 1:00pm. Please sign the guest book at www.Times-Standard.com, click obits.

Dearest Angela and family, you know how very much we adored Chuck. He was one of a kind. He was truly one of the nicest, most generous and genuine people we have ever known. Words just simply can't describe how much we are going to miss him.
He treated us just like family and we are so blessed to have been a part of your big, extended, and wonderful world. Our feelings of love for all of you cannot even be measured at this time and there just isn't any way to say how sorry we are for you to have lost such a precious and dear person far too soon.

God only lends us his angels
They are never really our own
He sets them free
One by one
To watch over us all
On the day that he calls them back home.
