Charles Ransdell Obituary

Charles Earl Ransdell age 84 of Clarksville, TN passed away Friday, September 12, 2025 surrounded by his loving family. Charles was born December 26, 1940 in Montgomery County, TN the son of the late Leonard and Marie Heflin Ransdell. He was also preceded by, one brother, Bob Ransdell. He was a member of the Forest Street United Methodist Church. Survivors include his wife, Linda Matthews Ransdell; one son, Jeff (Lauren) Ransdell; one daughter, Kristy Sprouse; one brother, Johnny (Linda) Ransdell; grandchildren, Matthew (Anna), Mary Morgan (Darren) and Kelsey(Chris); great grandchildren, Mabry, Warner, Brooks and Bryson. A private graveside service will be held. Charles Ransdell, a devoted and faithful husband, father, and grandfather, passed away surrounded by the love of his family. He will be remembered for his unwavering dedication to those he loved and to the business he built, Ranco Mechanical. Charles was a man of great strength and steady faith, who lived his life with integrity and purpose. He adored his grandchildren, Matthew and Mary Morgan, his great grandchildren, Mabry and Warner, and cherished every moment spent with them. His daughter, Kristy, devoted her life to caring for him, a reflection of the deep bond and love they shared. Outside of his work and family, Charles found joy in simple pleasures-casting a line on a quiet day of fishing at the lake house and exploring new places through his travels. These passions brought him peace and many cherished memories. Charles's legacy is one of devotion, hard work, and love. His presence will be profoundly missed, but his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
