Charles David Phelps

1950 - 2021

Charles David Phelps, 70
Goshen
David passed away peacefully at the home he and his wife built together in 1983 with his family and dog, George Bailey, at his side.
In his 70 years on earth, those that knew him will be forever grateful. The lessons taught and examples set will be carried on. In the end, all we can say is thank you. Thank you for being a loving husband, an unbelievable father and a great friend. We know you greeted God with your trademark Scottish accent and a joyous "how ya doin laddie". Put your feet up big dog, you have more than earned it.
David is survived by his wife of 38 years, Deborah, sons Nicholas and Andrew (Maggie), grandson "Charlie" and his namesake who brought him so much joy over the last five months. He is also survived by sister-in-law, Mary Bryan, favorite Aunt Red (Mary Dwyer), sister Delilah Pearson, brother Daniel Phelps, brother-in-law Philip Irvin, along with many nieces and nephews who loved him dearly. Last but not least, George Bailey, his constant four-legged companion. His grandson, Charles, will forever be reminded of how much his grandpa loved him.
David was preceded in death by his father and mother, Charles and Marcella Phelps, brother Timothy, and his "bestie" sister Ann Irvin. Ann passed away just eight weeks ago. We are comforted knowing Ann was waiting for him in heaven, ready to take their 1967 Mustang for a spin with God at the wheel.
As a resident of Oldham County for over 40 years, the family asks in lieu of flowers donations be made in David's name to any of the following organizations: Goshen Food Pantry (http://graceglory.weebly.com/), Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve (https://www.creaseymahannaturepreserve.org/) or Oldham County History Center (https://oldhamkyhistory.com/).
A celebration of David's life will be held at a later date.
