Charles "Charlie" Andrew Champlain, 60, passed away peacefully on November 4, 2024, at Samaritan Hospice in Mount Holly, NJ, following a courageous battle with lung cancer.

Prior to his illness, Charlie and his beloved wife, Patricia (Schlarp), had embarked on a journey as retirees, traveling across the country and making lasting memories.
Charlie is survived by Patricia, his devoted wife; his son, John Andrew (Aja); and three cherished grandchildren, Brooke, Andrew, and Daniel. He also leaves behind nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends who remember him fondly. Charlie was preceded in death by his parents, John Champlin and Kathleen Inis Pugh, and his siblings, Jimmy (aka Bo), Donna Rynn, and Candy Michelle.
A private service will be held on 11/13/2024, at Nettleton Cemetery in Jonesboro, AR, where Charlie will be laid to rest alongside his grandparents and extended family.
