Thompson, Charles (Chuck) Kerry, of Addison, TX, passed away on January 18, 2025, at the age of 81. Chuck was preceded in death by his father Charles, mother Rose, ex-wife Dixie, and son Charles.
Chuck is survived by two daughters and their husbands, four grandchildren, a great granddaughter, sister, sister-in-law, and niece.
Chuck had a brilliant mind and a knack for meeting people. He would debate just about anything and would usually win. He used these skills to become a successful executive and entrepreneur.
He loved to read, travel, and cook. It was common for him to become an expert on any topic that interested him, such as exotic sports cars, drones, photography, watches, pens, and his family's genealogy.
Chuck was a patriot to the core and loved his country with all his heart.
Some of his best years were spent at the local bookstore where he read, played chess, and made lifelong friends.
Chuck lived his life the way he wanted, and he loved it. He was confident and fearless. These principles will live on in those of us who knew and loved him.
