Charles Jarvis Obituary

Published by Legacy on Dec. 23, 2025.
Charles Keith Jarvis, a lifelong resident of Norfolk, Virginia, passed away peacefully at his home on December 18, 2025, at the age of 65. He was born on October 29, 1960, in Norfolk, Virginia, to his beloved parents, James Keith and Dello Jo Jarvis, who preceded him in death.

Charles dedicated over 30 years of his life working as a convenience store clerk, where he was known for his friendly demeanor and unwavering work ethic. A proud veteran of the United States Air Force, Charles carried the values of service and loyalty from his military days into every aspect of his life.

An avid supporter of the Washington Redskins, now known as the Washington Commanders, Charles rarely missed a game. He also found joy in playing Bingo Bash on his phone and was a devoted fan of old war movies, finding solace and nostalgia in their stories.

Charles's life was enriched by the company of family and friends, including his cherished niece, Teresa Shank, who provided devoted care and companionship during the last few years of his life. He is also survived by his cousins, Joe Hutchison and Suzen Hutchison McCann; great-nephews, John and Chris Baker; great-niece, Nicole Baker, along with other significant family members and friends.

Services for Charles will be held privately, honoring his wishes for a quiet remembrance. The family extends a heartfelt thank you to Teresa for her love and dedication, making Charles a priority in her life and ensuring his comfort and dignity.

In these times of grief, the family invites those who knew and cared for Charles to post their fondest condolences on the Cremation Society of Virginia website. May we all remember him for the kind and gentle soul he was, cherishing the memories he leaves behind.

I am one of Charles' cousins. I was saddened to learn of his passing, he and my mother would talk on the phone occasionally, and mom would tell me what was going on with him. I am glad he had a loving caregiver during his final years. May the memories of him, comfort his family in this time of remembrance. Rest in peace, Charles.
