Bruce Chartier

Loudon, NH - Mr. Bruce R. Chartier, age 63, passed away unexpectedly on April 9, 2025, surrounded by his family.

He was born in Woonsocket, RI to Alfred Chartier and Vivian (Richard) Amour. He lived in New Hampshire most of his life, calling Gilmanton, Epsom and Loudon home, with his last years in Loudon.

Bruce had retired from being a self-employed General Contractor, a job which he pursued since 2005.

Bruce was a hard-working, generous man who did what it took to get a job done right. He was a man who enjoyed simple pleasures, helping others, spending time with family and friends. Bruce will always be remembered for his working man sense of humor and his contagious laugh. He loved his animals, especially his dogs. In his younger years he built and raced stock cars. In more recent years, he has enjoyed local travel to be on a lake, Mount Washington or visit NH attractions. He has also enjoyed learning traditional crafts, trying his hand at coal-forged blacksmithing, bowl turning and other arts. He and his wife Cheryl had a short time together, but it was filled with love and fun.

Bruce is survived by his loving wife Cheryl Doe Chartier, his mother Vivian Amour, three sisters, Cathy King and her husband Matthew; Donna Worthen and her husband Peter; Sheila Hicks and her husband David; two brothers, Joseph Amour and his wife Nancy; David Amour; a stepbrother Richard Amour; and a stepsister Susan Pigeon. He leaves his children Rebecca Martin and her husband Justyn; Brandon Chartier and his wife Holly. He also leaves six grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.

Donations in his memory may be made to Habitat for Humanity or a charity of your choice.

There will be no services. At a future date, family will hold a celebration of his life.
