Charles Cain Obituary
Remaining to cherish Charlie's memory are three children: Carrie J. Cain (Adam Greene); Forest, OH., Charles E. Cain II (Kali Price); Forest, OH, and Christopher J. (Brook) Cain; Kenton, OH. Nine grandchildren, who were his pride and joy: Sade Yinger, Mason, Arthur, Alice, Anna, Axel, Ryker, Aengus, and Bodhi Cain; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Charlie's loyal companion, Buckeye, a miniature pinscher, was always by his side- even in his final moments.
He graduated from Riverdale High School in 1977, where he ran track and field, and played football for the Falcons. Charles married Kathleen A. Cain (Cupp) in 1976, and they later divorced. Kathleen survives in Forest, Ohio. Charlie spent numerous years with employer UAP, located in Forest, Ohio. More recently, he was employed with Durez Corporation in Kenton, Ohio, where he ultimately retired. Charlie was full of life and never knew a stranger. He was always willing to play a game of pool or join a game of Euchre. No matter the circumstances life threw his way, Charlie remained independent and headstrong through it all. It's these great memories that his family and loved ones wish to cherish and remember him by.
