CARTERVILLE - Charles Dean Wohlwend of Carterville, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, at the age of 61. Born on November 27, 1962 in Carbondale to Jackie and Charlyne (Heisler) Wohlwend, Charles dedicated 45 years of his life to Walgreens, serving diligently as a shift lead. His exceptional work ethic and loyalty to his job were commendable, making a lasting impact on his colleagues and customers.
A devoted fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, Charles found immense joy in watching sports of all kinds. Whether it was baseball, basketball, or football, he cherished the thrill of competition and camaraderie that sports brought into his life. However, his greatest source of love and pride were his nieces, Madeleine and Emma. Charles's affection for his family shone brightly, and he treasured every moment spent with them. Charles will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
Charles is survived by his sister, Jaci and husband Mike Planchet; and nieces, Madeleine and Emma.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
