CHARLES "CHARLIE" E. BROUSE

Charles "Charlie" E. Brouse, age 75, of Kansas City, Missouri passed away peacefully on October 11, 2025.
Funeral services will be held Friday, October 17, 2025, at Cullen Funeral Home, Inc. 612 W. Foxwood Dr., Raymore, Missouri 64083. Visitation will be from 12:00-1:00 p.m. with the services at 1:00 p.m. Burial will follow at the Raymore Cemetery, Raymore, Missouri.
Charlie was born in Kansas City, Missouri on September 7, 1950, the son of Lloyd A. Brouse and Margaret B. Brouse (Coppock). Shortly after graduating high school, Charlie started his career with Bendix, a government contractor and retired from Honeywell (Bendix) 55 years later. Charlie loved the great outdoors. He enjoyed camping, hunting, fishing, and especially traveling across the U.S. in a pop-up camper with his wife and children. For many years, he cultivated an amazing half-acre garden with rows of corn, watermelons, tomatoes, and peppers. He had a natural green thumb, and his yard was always the envy of every local golf course and the high school football coaches.
Charlie was preceded in death by his parents, Lloyd and Margaret Brouse; and his wife, Karen A. Brouse.
He is survived by his three children, Robert Brouse (Robin), DaNelle Lowe (Casey), Curtis Brouse; brother, Michael Brouse (Toni); two sisters, Diane Henthorne (Bruce) and Linda Bookasta; nine grandchildren, Caitlyn, Kourtney, Evette, Edward, Mason, Randy, James, Heather, Tonya; and nine great-grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Alzheimer's Association 8001 Conser Suite 240, Overland Park, KS 66204 or https://www.alz.org/kansascity
