CHARLES EILERS Obituary

CHARLES THOMAS EILERS We lost our beloved Papa KT, Charles Thomas Eilers, 64, to cancer Saturday July 15, 2019. It was so fast and devastating it took us all by surprise. He is survived by his wife, Sandra of 27 years; two stepdaughters, Kimberly Scott and Stacy Scott; stepson, Chester Scott; brother, David and Maggie Eilers; nephew, Michael and Jennifer Eilers and their three children; eight grandchildren; one great-grandchild; and many treasured friends and family. His passion in life was family first, golf, Kentucky Wildcats, Louisville Cardinals, and enjoying a day of fishing. Originally from Kentucky, KT has been a Las Vegas resident for almost 40 years and was a bartender at the old Riviera Hotel and Casino for over 36 years. He was such a special man who loved his wife deeply and was always the first to ask "What can I do for you?" He was loved by many and will be missed by all.

I still can't believe he's gone. This man. So kind, so full of life and love with a smile and a laugh that filled any room with happiness.
This man. He loved his beautiful wife Sandy so much, he told me he would never be able to live without her.( I hope you find comfort in knowing that Sandy. He told everyone how much he loved you). He loved his entire family and his dog Kingman as well.
He also loved his Riviera family, he was so happy when we could all get together.
Whenever we did a collection at the Riviera for anyone, he was always one of the first to contribute, without question.
This man. I feel so honored to have known him. He was exceptional. He was kind. He was our KT. We will all miss him so much.

I knew Tom first in Las Vegas. I was a bartender at the Riviera Hotel. I was the first bartender he worked with as a barboy for about 4 to 8 months at the old Delmonico Bar in the 1978 or 1979 years. Yes, he was a good barboy who worked with me. He had a laugh you would never forget. We work graveyard two days a week. Sometimes he would laugh and would wake me up at times when I was on break in the back room resting. I worked from 1973 to 1992 at the Riviera Hotel. Never a dull time behind the bar at times.
I am so sorry to see his name that he passed on. I wish the best for his family.
