Charles Aaron "Charlie / Chuck" Preston

Charles Aaron Preston "Chuck" "Charlie", 57, of Brewster, NY, passed away on June 10, 2024 unexpectedly. He was born on January 9, 1967, in Attleboro, MA.

From a young age Charles grew his love for Hockey. You could catch him watching hockey even if the Bruins were out of the playoffs! In 2015, Charles joined the Delancey Street Foundation where he turned his life around. With no surprise to his family and those who knew him, he became the head facilitator in his last years with the foundation. Although he ended his time with them, Charlie visited everyday and continued to find support in the program. Charles loved his job at Lisi's towing where he hauled heavy equipment. You could always find him going above and beyond and he considered his coworkers to be family. Charles grew his love for the state of New York and although he was miles away from his family, he always made a point to show up for them. His family was a big part of his life. Some of his favorite things to do were to fish and ride his motorcycle. Can you believe he would carry his fishing pole on that bike? just kidding although I wouldn't put it past him. He was an amazing cook, artist and comedian. Charlie knew how to make everyone laugh, and if they were not laughing, you know he would be. It was all in good fun and he meant well. He was quite the spicy habanero that he loved to eat. There wasn't anything Charlie couldn't do once he had his heart in it. He was determined to live each day to the fullest and enjoy his freedom.

He is survived by his father, Harold Preston, (wife Lori Preston) his son Nathan Preston Sr (wife Sarah Preston) , daughter Rachael Kelso, son Justin Preston (Fiancé Amanda Hiltz), daughter Sabrina Porter, and his grandchildren Kayleigh Preston, Nathan Preston Jr, Owen Preston, Katya Kelso, Jayce Howard, and Liam Preston. His sister Jessica Teixeria (husband Andre Teixeria), his nieces Tanesha Preston, Rose Teixeria, nephew Ethan Teixeria. His Aunt Valerie (Sissy), his girlfriend Mary Rullo.

Charles was preceded in death by his mother, Joyce Houde.

A Celebration of Life service will be held on 6/22/2024 at Delancey Street Foundation, 100 Turk Hill Road, Brewster, NY, from 12pm to 3pm.
