Christopher CHARRON Obituary
Christopher Mark Charron, born January 30, 1987 in Ottawa, died suddenly July 31, 2015. Chris was the loved and cherished son of Rick and Marie Charron, loving brother and best friend of Michael. His fiancée Caitlin Audrey Merritt (daughter of Ian and Cathy) was the love of his life. He was loved by his grandparents that knew him, Sally and the late Bob Charron and the late Gerald and Dolly Craig. No one will ever be able to take his place in the hearts of his aunts, uncles and cousins: Dianne and Deryk, Craig (Heather), Dwyer (Chantal and baby Kylie) Penk; Gord and Sara, Amy, Amber Charron; Cassandra and Mark, Jessie (Haley), Montana Caletti; Mark and Renata, Sabrina, Connor Charron; John and Penny, Jenna, Kelsey Craig.His infectious smile and laugh touched the lives of so many friends and colleagues at both work and play. An avid sports fan and enthusiast he loved both the game and the camaraderie. He could always see and bring out the best in people. Chris had a bright and loving future ahead of him with Caitlin. He was taken too soon. Visitation for family and friends will be held at
Capital Funeral Home & Cemetery,
3700 Prince of Wales Drive,
613-692-1211
on Wednesday August 5, 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. to say "So Long". A Memorial Service for family and close friends will be Friday, August 7, 2015 to inter his ashes. A celebration of Chris's life will be held on Saturday, September 5, 2015 4:00 p.m. at Baxter Conservation Centre, Kars, Ontario for all family and friends. In lieu of flowers a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be greatly appreciated. Donations and condolences may be left at

We were so very sorry to hear of Chris' passing. I fondly remember Chris, Mike, Caitlin (and the other Charron and Craig cousins) from Rideau Valley Middle School days. Such a tragedy. May the care and love of those around you help provide comfort and peace to get you through the sad and difficult days ahead.

Dear Charron family,
I offer my sincere condolences for your loss of Chris. Unfortunately I have never had the pleasure of meeting Marie or Caitlyn...my time with Rick, Mike and Chris has been limited to our trips to Carlisle for the truck shows. I have always admired how well the three of them got along and did so much together. I wish you all strength at this difficult time.

Chris was the definition of a Stand Up Guy. This news is devastating to anyone who had the joy of knowing him. The obituary couldn't have said it any better. He was a great friend and teammate who leaves a void no one can fill. My thoughts go out to Caitlin and the Charron family. Your son was a friend of anyone who met him.

I will never forget how contagious his smile was and I bet that goes for anyone who ever had the pleasure of knowing him. I'm so sorry for your loss. Fairness doesn't govern life and death. If it did, no good person would ever die young.
