Charles E. "Charlie" Tebbe, age 83, of Jamestown, passed away Wednesday, September 24, 2025, at HSHS St. Elizabeth's Hospital in O'Fallon. He was born February 7, 1942, in St. Rose, a son of the late Leo and Regina (nee Detmer) Tebbe.

In addition to his parents, Charlie was preceded in death by his grandson, Adam Tebbe and siblings, Paul (Martha) Tebbe, James "Jim" (Toots) Tebbe, Joan (Clarence "Butch") Kohlbrecher, Pat Stallard, and Rich Tebbe.

Charlie is survived by his former wife, Sheila (nee Burge) Tebbe of Pocahontas; children, Tim Tebbe of Jamestown, Terri (Edward) Rule of Keyesport, Tracy (Larry) Hempen of Breese, and Tammie (James) Molohon of Keyesport; grandchildren, Aaron Poteete, Alexander Poteete, Jessie (Isaac) Riddle, and Nicole (fiancé, Justin Huelsmann) Hempen; great-granddaughter, Charlie Tebbe; brother, Dan (Marilyn) Tebbe of St. Rose; sister-in-law, Rita Tebbe of St. Rose; and nieces and nephews.

Charlie was a hardworking man who spent many years as a truck driver for Consolidated Freightways in St. Louis, MO, and owned and operated Charles Tebbe Stump Removal. He was a proud member of the Teamsters Local Union and a devoted member of St. Felicitas Catholic Church in Beaver Prairie.

Outside of work, Charlie found joy in life's simple pleasures. He enjoyed listening to the Hayride on WGEL, playing cards and dice with family, and deer hunting. Above all, he cherished time spent with his children, grandchildren, and great-granddaughter, who meant the world to him.
