Charles Edward Kadlec, aged 71, passed away peacefully on January 26, 2025, in Gaylord, Michigan. Born on July 1, 1953, in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, Charles was loved by all who knew him.
He spent most all of his life in Michigan and was a proud graduate of Birmingham Groves High School in Beverly Hills, Michigan. Charles had a career in management and sales within the manufacturing industry.
A man of many passions, Charles found joy in strumming his guitar and immersing himself in the beauty of the outdoors. His faith was a cornerstone of his life and he began each day with prayer.
Charles is survived by his brother, Gary (Marie); sister-in-law, Linda; and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his brother, Robert; and parents, Richard Henry and Virginia Helen (Kijewski) Kadlec. Charles's legacy of love and laughter will be cherished by his family and friends forever.
Charles' family will be having a family celebration of Charles' life and will be placing his ashes in a plot next to his mother and father, Virginia and Richard, at Pine Lake Cemetery in West Bloomfield, Michigan.
