April 6, 1957 - May 11, 2025
Concord, North Carolina - Charles "Chuck" Gerlach, 68, of Concord, NC, passed away peacefully on May 11, 2025, surrounded by his family. He was born on April 6, 1957, in Watertown, NY, to the late Joe and Mary Gerlach, and was preceded in death by his beloved sister, Peggy Lou Gerlach.
Chuck was a hardworking business owner who took care of his employees and customers. His integrity, strong work ethic, and dedication to his craft and family were evident in every aspect of his life.

He was deeply loved by his family, nieces and nephews, and friends. He will be missed by all who knew him.
