Charles Shuler Obituary
Born: January 8, 1941
Died: August 7, 2025
Charles M. "Chuck" Shuler, age 84, of Yorkville, IL, went to be with the Lord on August 7, 2025, surrounded by his family. He was born on January 8, 1941, to Alva and Florence (Kammin) Shuler in Aurora.
He grew up in Oswego and graduated from Oswego High School in 1959. He then went to Drake University and received his pharmacy degree in 1963.
Soon after graduation, Chuck married Julie Hanson. They just celebrated 62 years of marriage a few days before his passing, and were grateful for so many wonderful years together!
Chuck served the Oswego community in multiple areas and was a volunteer for the Oswego Fire Department for 32 years. While in the department, he enjoyed giving tours of the fire barn to the young school children. But Chuck is most known for being the owner of Shuler's Drug Store, from the time he bought the store from his father in 1967 until he closed in November 2000.
Chuck is survived by his wife Julie, their daughter Jill (Rob) Canaday, their son Brad (Julieann) Shuler, granddaughter Hayley (Steve Robertson) Shuler, and great-grandson Colton Robertson. He is also survived by his sister Ann Harrod, sister-in-law Carol Hanson, cousins Annette Kleckner and Susan Batchelder, nieces and nephews Kathy Harrod, Janice Lenius, Bill Harrod, Eric Hanson, and Jennifer Gonnella, as well as several step-grandchildren.
Visitation will be Saturday, August 23, from 3:00 to 7::00 pm at Dunn Family Funeral Home, 1801 South Douglas Road, Oswego, Illinois 60543.
A Memorial Service will be Sunday, August 24 at 2:00 pm at New Life Church, 3205 Cannonball Trail, Yorkville, IL.

I am so sorry for your loss. Chuck was a great guy. I´ve known him since he had his own store. I would go in there every Sunday morning and get my dad his Tribune newspaper! My dad and I would go in there and pay his bills and get his lightbulbs! I was also able to work with him at Walgreens. He was always kind and helpful. He will be truly missed by me and everyone that had the pleasure to know him. Everyone that knew him loved him! May he rest in eternal peace in His father´s arms!
