Charles "Chuck" Paul Russo
April 19, 1978 – December 7, 2025
Chuck Russo, 47, left this world far too soon on December 7, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of laughter, love, charity and the kind of stories that only he could tell.
Born on April 19, 1978, Chuck lived every one of his 47 years with a big heart, an easy smile, and arms always ready for one of his famously great hugs. He was the beloved husband of 20 years to Erin, the love of his life and eternal soulmate. He was a proud and deeply devoted father to his son, Vincent, who was his greatest joy, his entire heart and most fulfilling accomplishment.
Chuck was the cherished big brother to his sister, Jackilyn, with whom he shared a one-of-a-kind bond, full of inside jokes, fierce loyalty, and a lifetime of closeness that never wavered. He was the son of Randy Russo and Shannon Wood, the step-son of Deb Russo and the much-loved stepson of Tom Wood, whom he also worked alongside as an HVAC Senior Manager at Accurate Air AC. Chuck approached his work with the same dedication, humor, and reliability that he brought to every part of his life, always striving to provide the very best for his family near or far.
A storyteller at heart, Chuck had a gift for turning even everyday moments into comedies worth retelling. People naturally gravitated toward him-his warmth, his kindness, his giving-nature and his ability to make strangers feel like old friends. With a guitar always within reach and a childhood talent for drawing, Chuck blended creativity with mischief in a way that made him unforgettable.
He loved intensely and gave selflessly. His circle of lifelong friends-many dating back to childhood-remained some of the most important people in his world, and he adored his extended family with the same wholehearted enthusiasm that defined him. To know Chuck was to adore him, and the number of people devastated by his passing is a testament to the impact he made simply by being himself.
While Chuck's life ended far too soon, the joy he brought, the love he gave, and the stories he shared will live on in everyone lucky enough to have known him. He will be immensely missed and forever cherished.
There will be no services. This was always Chuck's request.
