Charles Leon Rine, 58, a resident of Tyngsborough and former long-time resident of Lowell, passed away September 13th, 2024 surrounded by his loving family.
Charles, known to many as Chuck, was born on May 28, 1966, and was the son of Koula (Garas) Rine and the late Ira Rine. He lived a life full of passion, adventure, and love. As a proud Greek, Chuck deeply valued his family, embracing his roles as a devoted husband, dedicated father, and cherished papou. His zest for life was evident in everything he did from his love of traveling to his passion for motorcycles, including the many years he spent racing on his striking fuchsia bike.
Chuck's spirit was as vibrant as the 80's hair bands he adored. His deep appreciation for music, coupled with his love for movies and trivia, made him a well-rounded and engaging companion. From woodworking, drawing, and painting Chuck was a jack of all trades using his unique creativity to bring his visions to life.
Chuck's willingness to lend a helping hand, whether for grand projects or simple tasks, made him a steadfast and generous friend to all who knew him. His effortless ability for setting trends and his vibrant personality left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to cross his path.
Chuck led and participated in numerous charity bike runs and community events, reflecting his deep commitment to supporting and uplifting those around him.
Chuck's legacy lives on through the memories he created and the lives he touched. He will be remembered for his unwavering love for his family, his adventurous spirit, and his ability to brighten any room he entered.
He is survived by his loving wife, Kristina, his loving mother Koula, his two daughters Cassidy Rine-Prentice and her husband Tyler of Chelmsford, and Camryn Rine of Chelmsford. His stepchildren Justice LaPlante, Mia LaPlante and Nicole Last, as well as his grandchildren Bodhi, Brody, Aria, Maddy, and Peyton. His brother Sam Rine and wife Cindy of West Palm Beach, Florida, brother (and life long best friend) Jimmy Rine and wife Melissa of West Palm Beach, Florida and sister Andrea Jelovac of Dracut. He also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, and an "army" of friends. He was predeceased by his beloved grandparents Seraphim and Persephoni Garas.
