Charles Winkler Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 25, 2025.

Charles G. Winkler Jr., born on January 8, 1957, passed away on December 31, 2024, in Slidell, Louisiana. Charles lived a life centered on his love for the Lord and his love for others more than himself.

Charles was known for his selflessness, placing God first in all things and giving more than he got. He passionately shared the Word of Christ with anyone willing to listen, urging others to trust in the righteousness of Christ rather than their own and to persevere in their faith. His life was a testament to his belief in living humbly and serving others as an expression of his devotion to God.

He is lovingly remembered by his nephew Joseph; his brothers Steve and Kyle; his sister Cathy; and his two children, James and Silas. Charles's legacy of faith and service will continue to inspire those who knew him. May Charles's memory serve as a source of comfort and inspiration to those who were blessed to know him.

A man of little possession but great inheritance.

Luke 9:60-62 (CJB): "Yeshua said, 'Let the dead bury their own dead; you, go and proclaim the Kingdom of God!' Yet another said, 'I will follow you, sir, but first let me say good-by to the people at home.' To him Yeshua said, 'No one who puts his hand to the plow and keeps looking back is fit to serve in the Kingdom of God.'"

The last time I seen Charles, he had just got out of Boot Camp and came by the house. We both lived in the same neighborhood off of Clearview and Avron and went to school together,. I often wondered what happened to him and as of late he´s been popping into my head. So just like everybody else I got on the Internet to see if I could search him up. Seems I´m a bit too late. I had no idea he was living in Slidell. Funny how life has its twist and turns. I would have loked to have seen him again.

Chuck was a member of our family for many years. My husband Woodie and Chuck were dearest friends. When Chuck left the 262 Air National Guard in Bellingham, Washington, he went to my Mother (Dorothy Wallen) in Spokane, Washington to stay until he could find an apartment. He never left! He was the best thing to ever happen to Mama....the son she never had. And Mama treated him as her own. We all loved Chuck. I love Chuck with all my heart....as do all my children. Rest in peace dear boy and know that Miss Edith loves you.

Chuck was a member of our family for 13 years and our mother considered him one of her grandsons as did we all. He was wonderful and a true blessing to all of us. He walks with the Lord now.
