Charles Higgins Obituary

Charles "Chuck" Edward Higgins Sr., age 73, passed away peacefully at home in Sandstone, MN surrounded by his loved ones on April 5, 2024, after battling multiple cancers in the past year.

Chuck was born on August 4, 1950 in Minneapolis, MN to Edward and Margaret Higgins.

As a U.S. Marine Veteran, he was stationed at Camp Lejeune for four years and was then honorably discharged.

After leaving the Marine Corps, Chuck and Diane joined a motorcycle club called the Dry Riders. The Dry Riders were a big part of Chuck and Diane's life. They enjoyed riding motorcycles together with their friends across the country.

Chuck also enjoyed riding bicycles and camping with his wife, kids, and grandkids, woodworking, taking multiple naps no matter what he was doing during the day, and taking multiple trips to the closest store for whatever his wife needed.

Chuck was a dedicated husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend.

He is survived by his wife of 53 years Diane Higgins of Sandstone; children Charlie Higgins Jr., Travis (Tammy) Higgins, Missy Higgins (Dave Moore); eight grandchildren Kayla (David) Moelter, Serenity (Austin) Aleckson, Savannah (Stephon) Buckhanan, Tryston Neumann, Charlie Higgins III, Rianna Prettyfeather, Shayla Prettyfeather, Devyn Higgins; eight great-grandchildren Carly, Isiah, Nathan, Lincoln, Dreydon, Deon, D'Angelo, and Gunner; siblings Kathy Nelson, Patrick (Mary) Higgins, Ron Teeman; many other nieces, nephews, cousins, and in-laws.
