Charles Ogilvie

Charles Prentiss Ogilvie

Charles Ogilvie, 46, died Wednesday, September 15 in a tragic aviation accident. Born in San Francisco, CA, Charles attended University High School and then St. Mark's School, earned his bachelor's degree from University of Southern California, and earned his master's degree from USC's Marshall School of Business. Charles had two early passions -- one was for a burgeoning economy in the Asia Pacific Region and the other was for aviation. Following business school, he worked for start-up airline Virgin America, where he designed all of the in-flight entertainment systems. After meeting his wife, they moved to Asia where he worked for Panasonic in their in-flight department. After almost a decade abroad, they returned to the States where Charles took a position as a resident entrepreneur at Wunderman Thompson in Atlanta.

Charles was one of a kind. He was creative, smart, and entrepreneurial. He was an amazing, devoted husband and father who deeply loved and valued his family, and he was a loyal friend to many. Charles cherished family time, taking his boys on bike rides, to watch the planes at the airport, and to soccer games. He is survived by his wife, Stephy, and their children, Christopher and Peter, of Atlanta; his parents, Ann Mcdonald of Boston and Andrew Ogilvie of San Francisco; his siblings, Sarah Ogilvie Saint-Amand, Peter Ogilvie and Austin Ogilvie, of New York. Because of Covid19, the memorial service will be private. Charles will be interred at Mount Hope Cemetery in Bangor, ME.
