Charles Fritz Obituary
Our beautiful boy and brother, Charles 'Charlie' Fritz, passed on August 3, 2021 after sustaining injuries as a pedestrian in a vehicular accident. His death is a tragic loss for all who knew and loved him. Charlie was a force of nature, displayed a wicked sense of humor and outward silliness; always seeming to be quite confident in his unique path. Growing up in Edmonds, he graduated from Mountlake Terrace High School in 2019 with a STEM diploma. He embraced 'nerd culture' and was accomplished in Overwatch Competitive college league, captaining the Western Washington team in Esports. He was mathematically gifted and was engaged in related studies in college. Whatever he did, whether cross country, working, skateboarding, he engaged with a zest for life and inclusiveness for all. After traveling to Japan with the Kakahashi exchange program, he became interested in anime. Charlie was a friend to all with a big heart full of compassion. He is survived by his parents, Karen and Chuck, and little brother, Jackson.
Please join us in a celebration of his life at Edmonds United Methodist Church (EUMC), 8282 Caspers Street, Edmonds, WA 98020. A Visitation and viewing will be held on Wednesday, August 11, 2021, from 3 pm to 8 pm; with a Service at 4 pm on Thursday, August 12, 2021.

Although I never met your son, I do remember Chuck bragging about his wonderful sons and how he had to get home and help them with homework. They were his pride and joy. You have my deepest sympathies.

The first time I met Charles, he turned up first for a group gathering at our house. I expected the awkward conversation that happens when a teenager realizes he is stuck with someone else´s parents for an undefined amount of time. Of course, Charles surprised me. "Yes!! You´ve got to show me where they´re going to come in so I can scare them!" I instantly knew I was really going to like this kid.
