Charles "Chuck" Robert Burrows, 74, of La Conner, WA, passed away peacefully on the evening of September 18, 2025, at Providence Hospital in Everett, surrounded by the warmth and love of his cherished family.

He was born on September 6, 1951, in San Francisco, CA, the son of Glen and Ruby Burrows., Charles. Chuck's family later moved to Anacortes, WA, where he graduated from Anacortes High School in 1970. He built a fulfilling career in the automotive industry as an outside sales agent, serving Skagit and Island counties. Chuck had a gift for connection – his customers quickly became lifelong friends, drawn to his ever-present smile, playful humor, signature suspenders, and unwavering love for God and country.

Chuck was a passionate history enthusiast and a joyful traveler, especially when exploring the world hand-in-hand with his beloved wife, Patty. Their adventures were filled with laughter, learning, and love.

Above all, Chuck's heart belonged to his family. He is survived by Patty, his devoted wife of 40 years; children Ryan (Suzi), Matt, Jason, Jennifer (Brian); grandchildren, Bailey (Alexander), Maddie (Luis), Nina (Logan), Micah (Madison), Cody (Traci), Riely (Mikayla), Hollis, and Koen; great-granddaughters, Ara, Ayla, and Reese. Chuck also leaves behind three brothers and sisters-in-law, along with a large and loving extended family of nieces and nephews who will forever carry his memory in their hearts.

A celebration of Chuck's life, officiated by his nephew, Jeff Burrows, of Plains, MT, will be heldt at 1:00 p.m., Monday, November 17, 2025, at Evans Funeral Chapel. All who knew and loved Chuck are welcome to join in honoring a life so beautifully lived.

Arrangements are in the care of Evans Funeral Chapel and Crematory Inc., Anacortes and the San Juan Islands. To share memories of Chuck, please sign the online guest register at www.evanschapel.com.
