Charles Silverman Obituary
Jan 5,1983 - Oct 7,2012
AKA- Chuck, Papa, Charlie, Charro, Chuckles
Charles was born in Walnut Creek, California. His life was cut short by a car accident on Sunday, October 7, 2012; He was 29 years old. He was a loving son and brother. Charles is survived by his parents, Ruby Silverman, Concord, CA, and Robert Silverman, Norwalk, CA; and his brother, Michael Silverman, Puyallup, WA. He lived most of his life in Contra Costa County and spent a few years in Santa Barbara. He was a graduate from Clayton Valley High School, Class of 2001. Charles loved to go boating with friends, play golf, chess, and words with friends, and watch his favorite team, the 49ers, play football. Charles was a practical joker at heart and would seize the opportunity to make people laugh. One of his favorite past times was playing poker, of which, he did very well. Charles was in great shape and took pride in his appearance. He made the decision to return to college to pursue a degree in Business. He was a fun and outgoing man with the best laugh and smile that could brighten up the room. He worked at Havana in Walnut Creek for many years as a server and bartender. He had many "regulars" who enjoyed his spectacular mojitos and company. Charles inspired everyone! - From his family and friends, to total strangers. His personality was charismatic and witty. He lived his life each day as a blessing and opportunity to create lasting memories. A celebration of Charles' life will be held on Thursday, October 18, 2012 at 2:00 pm, at Shadelands Art Center at 111 North Wiget, Walnut Creek, CA.

Charles 'Chuck' Silverman I often sit upon the bench above Acalanes H.S. in Walnut Creek; the bench your family placed there in memory of you. Though I did not know you I sense the light and love when I sit on your bench of reflection and love left in your honor. My heart aches for those who lost you I have a son your age - I cannot imagine losing him ; in faith I trust we are all united again at the Festival of Friends in spirit someday - someway- somehow - if we have faith of a mustard seed we shall. Until you are reunited with those who loved you best Rest, Love & Peace upon you and those you left behind.

It doesn't seem that long ago that Charles and I were wrestling in the same weight class at CV. I clearly remember Chuck challenging me for the varsity spot, me taking him lightly (I was a senior when he was a freshman), and him taking it to me and nearly winning. Charles was always self confident and was just a good guy. I'm going to miss running into him and getting updates on him from my sister.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My daughter went to school with Chuck at CVHS and also knew him from Havana. She said he had a great smile and was a great guy. I didn't know him myself but my heart goes out to your family. You will be in my prayers.

Charles, I am so sorry that you have gone at such a young age. I have not seen you since you and Michael since you were young- when you guys lived with your mom and dad on Kirkwood Drive. Devin says he spent time with you last years, and said you were a crack up....you turned out to be quite a handsome man! You and your brother were so cute! It just seems like yesterday in the neighborhood, with our lives as they were. My heart and prayers go out to your mom, Ruby and your dad, Chuck, and of course your brother, Michael, and all your friends and family. Val feels the same. We wish you a peaceful journey.

Old buddy and neighbor: Rest in Peace!
Long gone are the slow summer days of hanging with your brother Mike Silverman and Justin Gray. Forever I will cherish the never ending evenings on Camino Estrada. My Wife, Sara Lawrence and I had just ran into you recently. She asked who you were. So many great childhood memories.
Bright Light and Energy - May you Rest In Peace!
