Charles Antonites Obituary
Charles Anthony Antonites, 64, of Paducah, passed away peacefully at his home on Sunday, March 23, 2025. Charles was born on May 21, 1960, in Waukegan, Illinois, to the late Peter and Peggy Antonites. He was a man of many passions and collector of fine things.
Charles was of the Baptist faith and also cherished his affiliation with the Fraternal Order of Eagles in Paducah. Charles was retired from the Canadian National Railway, where he devoted over 40 years of service. He embraced life with enthusiasm, especially enjoying '70s music which resonated with him throughout the years. His love for motorcycles and collecting model trains showcased his adventurous spirit and attention to detail.
He leaves behind his beloved son, Christopher Antonites of Paducah, along with two cherished grandchildren, Myles and Mathis Antonites, who affectionately called him Pops. Additionally, he is survived by his cousin, Vaughn Hugen (wife Alisa) of Paducah, who was closer than a brother to him.
Family and friends are invited to celebrate Charles's life with a visitation scheduled for 1-3 p.m. Saturday, March 29, at Keeling & Goodman Funeral Home. A funeral service will follow visitation with Jim Trimble officiating.
Keeling & Goodman Funeral Home is honored to be serving the Antonites family.
