Charlie Rondeau Obituary

Publish in a newspaper

Charles William Rondeau, "Charlie", 63, of Forney, Texas, passed away on October 21, 2025. He was preceded in death by parents, Frank and Janet Rondeau and sister, Dianne O'Steen.

Charlie was born in Dallas Texas on October 17, 1962, and raised in Garland Texas. He was an avid music fan and attended many concerts every year. His love of music began at a very young age. He was in bands since elementary school, and most recently, played a weekly gig at Darren's American Grill. In high school, he really enjoyed being a member of the Celebration show choir at Garland High School. One of his favorites things was being "Santa" several years for local charities. He also loved sports and never missed a Cowboy or Stars game.

There was never a dull moment when Charlie walked in the room. He could strike up a conversation with anyone. Topics were endless and he always knew the latest development on any trending news, which is why he could chime in mid-conversation effortlessly.

Early on, he was a radio DJ and later his career was in advertising – working for Drew Pearson Company and the Dallas Morning News.

Charlie is survived by his sister, Sharon Arnold, nieces, Mindi Airhart, Brooke Knight, Brittany Watson and nephew, Brent O'Steen, along with great nieces and nephews, cousins and some wonderful life-long childhood friends.

Charlie's memory will live on in the laughter he shared, the stories he told, and the music he played.
