Edward Charles Lenoir

February 21, 1943 - December 22, 2023

Sacramento, California - With great sorrow, his family mourns the death of Edward Charles Lenoir, a remarkable person who enriched the lives of his family and friends.

Born in Sacramento, he was raised in Oak Park, graduated from Sac High and attended Sac City College.

Predeceased by his parents, Emil C. Lenoir and Jane Buckman.

Devoted husband of Karen Leschner-Lenoir for 62 years. Survived by a sister, Lona; sister-in-law, Linda; loving father of Jeff, Wendy (Brian) and Lance. Adored by seven grandchildren, Sean (Katie), Megan (Adam), Allie (Adam), Ian (Katie), Tara, and Zachary (Nereida), Gerrett; four great-grandchildren, Kylee, Ruby, Bishop, Everett; several cousins, nieces and nephews.

From the age of 19, he worked for P.G. & E. as a gas/serviceman for 35 years. Along with his service work, he was a IBEW Shop Steward 1245 for 11 years.

He adored teaching his grandsons to fish, fishing with his P.G. & E. buddies in Jackson Meadows.

He loved coaching little league baseball for his son, playing blackjack and beach vacations.

He valued relationships and the deep connections he had with family & friends.

He was an avid golfer and enjoyed organizing annual golf tournaments for P.G. & E. (Capital Valley Golf Club) at the Lake Tahoe Country Club for 24 years.

His fight was valiant and his strength in the face of adversity will always be a reminder of who he was, and his indomitable spirit continues to live on in the hearts of those who loved him.

We will have a Celebration of Life in the following weeks. Please reach out to family for further details.

Karen and Family,
A lovely tribute to Chuck. The spirit of his loving heart will live on in memory.
He always had a kind word, a story, a laugh and thoughtful advice. We loved hearing him talk about adventures and events in his life that involved his family and friends. He loved his family trips to the beach or mountains. Chuck was an excellent listener and showed interest in other people's stories too. His support and love for his family is a legacy that they will remember and find comfort in during difficult times. We feel so fortunate that we could spend some time with Chuck. We find some comfort in seeing his family grow and prosper and in knowing that he enjoyed a life well lived.

Ed was one of the best, husband, father, grandfather, and friend to many. I am fortunate and grateful to have known and have had him in my life. Many life memories of fun and laughter with all who knew Ed. One of the best is physically lost but grateful memories will always and forever will be with all of us.
